Excellent Adaptation of "Back to School with Franklin"

Franklin and his friends are heading back to school, but it looks like things are going to be a bit different. Mr. Owl has hurt his leg and so they're going to have a substitute teacher. Franklin is worried about this, as he's often reluctant to accept new things. He really likes Mr. Owl. He's not sure he'll like the new teacher. The new teacher is Ms. Koala. She's definitely different, very different. She uses a lot of seemingly strange expressions when speaking, such as "fair dinkum." But it turns out that Ms. Koala is a bit nervous about being their replacement teacher, just as they're nervous about meeting her. Franklin comes with a great idea to make her feel better. A nice adaptation of the special "Back to School with Franklin." The book necessary eliminates all of the special's sideplots, such as Harriet & Kit, as well as Ms. Koala setting up a school soccer team. But this version of the story really works well, and will satisfy readers.
