In honor of Halloween, CJ and I have been reading Fall and Halloween themed books. Nothing scary, he's only one. We'll wait until next year to pull out the Stephen King for him. One of the books we read was Franklin's Halloween.
First of all, I freaking love Franklin. Where has he been all my life? Everyone who knows me knows I love turtles. I even have a tattoo of one on my leg. How did I not know that there were books about a turtle with the awesome name Franklin?

My son came home from school sick today. I thought he might like to cuddle up with mom and read a story. That always seems to help a little.
We read Franklin's Halloween. I had downloaded it from netgalley and wanted to read it with my eight year old. I love to see what they think. I know what I like in a children's story: great pictures, humor, a lesson, phonetics....etc. Kids mostly want a good story and to see the pictures. I asked him what he thought and he said it was good. I asked him if ot...more

Before I became a mother I did not know who Franklin was. But now with two young boys in my house we are all well aware of Franklin and all the shenanigans he and his animal friends get into. We love him and all his pals. The lessons that these book teach are ones that my children and I can relate to.

Franklin and his friends get ready to go to their Halloween party, deciding what would be best to wear. While there, they got a big scare thinking that they saw a real ghost.
All the animals were adorable in their costumes, and the story line was good enough that it held my 3 and 5 year old's attention. They loved that it was about Halloween, since Halloween is just around the corner.

(3 1/2 years old.) Brody really loves this book, especially since it has to do with Halloween and a Ghost. His favorite part is when everyone thinks that Bear is a Ghost, when Bear was really at home with a cold. He liked that they gave them his candies, even though he couldn't come out Trick-or-Treating with them.
"Franklin's Halloween" talks about a Halloween party that Franklin attends with his friends. We see him considering what costume he should wear, he wants to win a prize in the costume contest and he doesn't want to duplicate what his friends are wearing. Once at the party, he tries to guess which of the costumed party-goers are his friends. There's a brief little mystery about Bear and a ghost costume, older children and adults will figure it out quickly.

Another great Franklin title. I couldn't help but wonder when I read this with my guy this year if it would be the last time. He is almost seven and still enjoys picture books, but that could change between now and next year.
A great Halloween book for kids! My little brother loved the pictures and found the costumes fun to look at and identify. The general 'non scariness' of this book makes this a good reccomendation to much younger children as well!
Franklin is a sweet little turtle, and his adventures are fun and innocent. Even on spooky Halloween night, things never get too scary.
