Bedtime for Frances
by Russell Hoban Illustrated by Garth Williams
In these read-aloud stories, Frances conquers the things that go bump in the night in books that capture the warmth and humor of typical childhood experiences.
Famed for her many adventures, Frances made her debut with this title decades ago. In this first Frances book, the little badger adroitly delays her bedtime with requests for kisses and milk, and concerns over tigers and giants and things going bump in the night. Long a favorite for the gentle humor of its familiar going to bed ritual.
"Here is the coziest, most beguiling bedtime story in many a day." — Kirkus Reviews (pointer).
