Franklin learns about the meaning of friendship in these four classic stories, now available in one Franklin Treasury. Franklin Has a Sleepover, Franklin's Bad Day, Franklin's New Friend and Franklin's Secret Club are gentle stories that have helped make the lovable turtle one of the world's best-known and most endearing children's book characters.
I love the detailed, colourful illustrations in these books - I had to get it to add to the baby shelf! And the messages are good, too, about being inclusive and understanding emotions. Very cute books.
The two-year-old is very into Franklin right now. Franklin is much more palatable in book form. In the TV shows he comes across as rather insufferable, but in the books he and his pals are cute and the stories are nice. This book has four stories (which are also TV episodes) that revolve around the theme of friendship. Illustrations are gorgeous. The hardback format makes it a really nice edition to a child's library.
I imagine a post-apocalyptic civilisation which digs up a complete set of Franklin books, mysteriously preserved from the ravages of time, and founds a creed thereon. Terrifying.
