Bedtime For Frances

This has to be one of my all-time favorite kids' books! A note to parents: bleeding heart that I am, I have experimented with substituting "time-out" for "spank" when Father is getting mad at Frances, but it just doesn't work with the "whack and smack" storyline at the end of the book. So here the story is in its grand-spanking form! Bedtime For Frances, by Russell Hoban, illustrated by Garth Williams, ISBN: 0808524119, read by Maria W.: http://www.box.net/shared/a1aauo337n
