Title: smoking, spanking and watching TV?
Review: I loved the Frances books as a child, so I bought this one for my niece without even opening it. When we sat down to read it, I was horrified. "Father" smokes a pipe, both parents watch television, and Frances is threatened with a spanking if she doesn't go to sleep even though she's afraid of monsters in the dark. The book is supposed to help children conquer their fears of the night and sleeping alone but there must be better ways to achieve this. Try the other Frances books, they're great.
