What Customers Say About Frances:

Our children enjoyed all the Frances stories, now our grandchildren like to listen to the same stories on CD. They listen to the stories at bedtime, the pace is slow and easy, and they are happy to listen to the same stories, over and over again.

I use the Frances books in my classroom and the children enjoy the "read-aloud" versions that I have on audio tapes. I ordered this cd as a supplement, as I do not have all the books on tape. The children and I did not like this version and I probably will not use them in my classroom. The other version of the books (read-aloud) is much better.

She has such a distinctive style and voice. 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. This is an absolutely pitch-perfect rendering of these classic books. I don't think we will ever grow tired of this CD.

I would prefer she read it slower. I 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. Her voice is a bit raspy, and she does not sing the songs, instead recites them as a poem. I guess I am used to the way I read the book, changing voices sometimes for each character, especially when singing the made-up songs that are a special part of Frances' personality.All in all though, I would highly recommend the CD but buy the books as well of course.

I have loved these "Frances" stories since my Daughter was in kindergarten, & she's now 39 years old. I'll have a difficult time not opening it to listen to it before he gets it. 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 just think these are the cutest & funniest stories ever. So natural to how children really feel in so many different situations.
