Bedtime for Frances (Trophy Picture Books ) (Picture Puffin S.)

by Russell Hoban

Garth Williams (Illustrator)

It's seven o'clock and bedtime for Frances, but she is not yet tired. She needs a glass of milk, a piggyback, goodnight kisses and a room free of tigers, spiders and giants. But she still cannot sleep till her father patiently explains why it is important for her to bright and cheerful for school the next day. Then, she finally falls asleep dreaming of all the creatures she had seen in her room at bedtime.

While part of me felt it was long, it was comic g last after reading six or more other stories so alone it might be quite right. The content is very appropriate for us and our bedtime/naptime struggle. I think we will return. To Frances books often in the next few years.
