All of the Frances books are written in such a way that you can imagine these scenarios actually taking place.  In Bedtime For Frances, Frances is supposed to go to bed but she just isn't tired.  The story takes you through the process of finally getting Frances to sleep.  If only we as parents could be that patient.  This book was first published in 1960 but will be around for a long time since the story of getting your kids to bed is timeless.  My only regret with these books is that he didn't write more.

 

My daughter has been enjoying this book immensely.  It is a really fun book to read to your little ones because you can change your voice to make it more interesting.  I read in a deep voice for father, read in my normal voice for mother and talk babyish for Frances.  In each Frances book she makes up songs and I have a lot of fun singing her songs.  My daughter is beginning to sing along to Frances' alphabet song since we have been reading this book every day.  The book is rated 4 stars on Amazon, which surprised me.  I think it should be rated 5 stars.  This book will always be a favorite of mine and I hope to read it to my grandchildren someday.
