Bedtime for Frances

Description
It may be bedtime for Frances, but that does not mean Frances is ready to go to bed - not by a long shot. First she must have a glass of milk and make certain Mother and Father have each kissed her good night (twice). Then she is ready to imagine there is a tiger in her room, and a giant, and...each time Frances thinks up something new, off she goes to tell her ever-patient, if increasingly weary, parents.

Starred Review

Frances the Badger's first appearance contains just one of her later famous "hums" but gives the reader the full measure of her endearing personality and of her parents' patience and ingenuity. Williams's original illustrations, now in full color, accompany Frances's battle to put off bedtime — a universal of childhood.
