Loading... Bedtime for Frances (1960)by Russell Hoban
None. This is a sweet story! Having trouble going to bed is something children and parents (and babysitters) can relate to! (  ) dukefan86 | Apr 21, 2013 |  This is such a wonderful, wonderful book! I got to read it out loud to someone who had never met Frances before. At bedtime. The text is brilliant, the illustrations delightful. And there are threatened spankings, which one can hardly find in a book for small people any more. I love Frances' parents with all my heart. Everyone should have a copy of this on hand, just in case. (  ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | Frances becomes afraid of going to sleep because of all the different noises going on around her. She bugs her parents, but ends up sleeping in her room any way. ( ) LainaBourgeois | Mar 14, 2012 | I really like the drawings of the parent badgers in this book. I really think this book was illustrated more for frustated parents rather than children who can't get to sleep. Good job Mr. Williams. ( ) BenjaminHahn | Jun 14, 2011 | Frances does not want to go to bed, and comes up with a litany of familiar excuses for why she shouldn't sleep. RESPONSE: I was looking up the author on Amazon, and was shocked by how many negative responses to this book there were. Apparently historically-accurate mentions of spanking traumatize children. (That was sarcastic.) I loved this book, it was sweet and cute. Father Badger wasn't frightening at all, and spanking was just a fact of life.
