I am still reading this classic to them. It was recommended by the text that our district "adopted."

Frances Rocks!!!!!!!!!

My four year old has loved the Frances books since she was two; this CD is absolutely perfect and she asks for it at least once a week, and finally we have a sort-of tune for all of wonderful Frances' songs. PS if you are a real Frances fan as a parent, check out Mr. Hoban's "Riddley Walker" adult novel. Trust me, you will love it, and in 10 or 15 years, your current Frances fan will too.

The Frances Series

My kids are grown now and I am ordering it for them as more of a nostalgia thing. We origianlly listened to it on a record we got from the library, and the many phrases in the tapes narrated by Glynnis John have become a part of the vocabulary of our family. The tapes are actually better than the books because Frances becomes more of a kid and less of a badger, but the books are great. We loved them and am glad a recording is still available.

Wonderful

While teaching preschool for many years, this tape was the start of most naptimes! Now ordering it for my child, I can't wait to see them enjoy it as well... The reading is beautiful and after listening you can't help but hear that voice when reading it yourself.

Funny and entertaining

The stories are narrated by Glynnis Johns, she played the mother in Mary Poppins. My children listened intently and laughed a lot at irrascible Frances. They asked for the stories over and over.
