Frances is a city kid, but its hard for her to fit in. City walls arent for climbing, city rooms arent for running, city shops and city yards are too crowded, and there are so many rules that Frances cant seem to follow.
A New York Times Best Childrens Book of the Year
She takes a trip to visit her cousins in the country, where she finds cats for chasing, roads for racing down, ladders for leaping, and fields full of animals. When its time to go home, its not easy to leave her cousins, but she invites them to visit and see the sights and sounds, lights, thumps, beeps and shines of the city where she returns to her loving mom and sisters.
