Children will cheer for Frances as she cleverly avoids her bedtime, stubbornly refuses to eat anything but bread and jam, and struggles not to eat the tempting, chocolatey birthday present she has just bought for her younger sister, Gloria. These reassuring and funny stories are just right for those amazing days of childhood! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Absolutely, positively perfect!I can't praise this audio book colection highly enough. My 3- and 5-year-olds are entranced by Glynis Johns' reading of the stories. She has such a distinctive style and voice! This is an absolutely pitch-perfect rendering of these classic books. I don't think we will ever grow tired of this CD. Rating:  - Would Be Better As A CD/Book SetI guess I did not read the description carefully, because I assumed the CD came with the books to look at while listening. So after it arrived, I ordered all the books as well. As for the CD, I think the reader presents the story a little to quickly for very young listeners, not giving them enough time to contemplate the thoughts presented in the dialog. I would prefer she read it slower. Her voice is a bit raspy, and she does not sing the songs, instead recites them as a poem. I guess I am ... Read More Rating: - Darling StoryI have loved these "Frances" stories since my Daughter was in kindergarten, & she's now 39 years old. I bought every book in the series and have read them to all my Grandchildren & they've all loved them, also. I still like to read them, so I wanted to get the audio collection for my Grandson who is now 4 years old. I'll have a difficult time not opening it to listen to it before he gets it. I just think these are the cutest & funniest stories ever. So natural to how children really feel in so ... Read More Rating: - Familiar Voice Enhances StoriesIf you enjoy the "Frances" stories you will love this audio selection of some of the best. They are read by Glynis Johns, from the "Mary Poppins" movie. She has an incredible voice. You will laugh out loud at her delivery of some of the text. My family listened to it all the way through the day we got it -- and again the next day. It's great for car trips for preschool children. The stories are just the right length to listen to one or two as you run errands with your children. Rating:  - OK for the kids, torture for the parents.We listened to this twice on our our 1200 mile trip over the past week. Our 6 year old daughter was entertained by it. Our son, whom is was actually purchased for, was a bit oblivious to it. He's almost 4. My husband and I were about to jump out the window though. The author's voice and reading style and the singing were beyond grating on our last nerve!
