Franklin and the Computer

Franklin the Turtle

by Sharon Jennings, Paulette Bourgeois

Franklin becomes so captivated with a new computer game
that he almost forgets what being a friend is all about.


Franklin is totally into Beaver's new computer game, Dam Builders. He keeps popping up at her house and spends all his time playing Dam Builders. He's so obsessed with reaching the next level in the game that he turns down Beaver's invitation to go swimming and even forgets his promise to Bear to show up for soccer practice--twice. One day Franklin finds himself alone; all his friends are at the pond. They are glad when Franklin joins them for a real game of dam builders, and Franklin realizes that friends are the most fun of all.

Even though this was first published almost 20 years ago in 2003, the message of how addictive video games can be still rings true. when Franklin's friend Beaver gets a new video game, Franklin can't stop playing it. He spends more time playing it than Beaver. Can Franklin's friends figure out a way to help him?

مجموعه فرانکلین رو که اگر اشتباه نکنم ۴۰ جلد هست، نشر آبادیران کامل ترجمه و چاپ کرده
این کتاب ها مخصوص گروه سنی الف، ب، ج هست و برای بچه ها جذابه و هر جلد یک موضوع شاید ساده ولی آموزنده رو میگه
نقاشی ها هم با توجه به اینکه توسط چند نفر کشیده شده است شبیه به هم و برای بچه ها جذابه

This is yet another digital citizenship book that uses a famous character to help teach a concept. In this one, Franklin becomes so focused on a new computer game, he ends up spending all of his time with it and begins to forget what it is to be a friend. We can all become easily addicted to the technology features all around us in this world, and this is a very useful story to bring up the topic to children. It's okay to safely use technology, have fun with it, but it can't become your life.
