Bookroo's summary
Frances isn't ready for bed. She needs milk, kisses, and reassurance from her parents. But with tigers and giants lurking in her imagination, will she ever find sleep? Join Frances on her whimsical bedtime adventure, where every delay is a new discovery, and her parents' patience is tested. Can Frances conquer her fears and finally drift off to dreamland?
From the publisher
It may be bedtime for Frances, but that does not mean Frances is ready to go to bed - not by a long shot. First she must have a glass of milk and make certain Mother and Father have each kissed her good night (twice). Then she is ready to imagine there is a tiger in her room, and a giant, and…each time Frances thinks up something new, off she goes to tell her ever-patient, if increasingly weary, parents.
