"Bedtime for Frances" follows a young badger named Frances who is not ready to go to sleep. As her parents encourage her to settle down for the night, Frances tries a series of clever tactics to delay bedtime. She expresses her worries about the dark and imagines all sorts of scenarios that might happen if she doesn’t stay awake. With a mix of humor and charm, the story captures a child's reluctance to end the day and the comfort of parental love. Ultimately, Frances learns that sleep can be comforting and that bedtime rituals can be a soothing experience. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
