Title: Not as good as the other Frances books
Review: I am a big fan of Frances and I grew up reading many of the Frances books. I received a copy of this book as a gift recently and I was very disappointed. The story starts our wonderfully and Frances, her fears, and her interactions with her parents ring true, but I was very disappointed with the end... when her father makes her go to bed by threatening to spank her. What is the moral of the story? For the parent it seems to be that even if your child is frightened and having a hard time sleeping you should force him/her to go to bed and stop bothering you. For the child it seems to be that your fears are not valid and you shouldn't bother your parents with them. I would recommend skipping this book in favor of "A Bargain for Frances," "Bread and Jam for Frances," or "Best Friends for Frances."
