Frances keeps finding excuses to not go to bed, or fall asleep. She reminds me of my own children at a young age. A delightful read, wonderful pictures, highly recommended for young and old. ( )

How does your 5-year old go to sleep? I'm pretty sure it looks quite a bit like how Francis goes to bed. Bedtime for Frances is part of the Francis series written by Russel Hoban and illustrated by Garth Williams. Francis is a young badger who lives with her mother, father and siblings. This book is part of a seven-book series that deals with growing up and learning responsibility, moderation, sharing and more. The Francis series is made of part nostalgia, part fun and the anthropomorphic characters provide inclusion for all readers. Russel Hoban is the winner of the Whitbread award and the Campbell Memorial award for his contributions to literature. ( )
