Customer Reviews

Franklin is the best!

Franklin books are a wonderful addition to your children's library. I highly, highly recommend these books. They are the right length for reading to 2 - 5 year olds, and always have an important message that is very relateable. I just LOVE Franklin. The TV series is great too!

ANOTHER WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THE FRANKLIN SERIES

It is difficult to find much wrong with this entire series of books and this offering is no different. Franklin, after lengthy study and conversation, comes to the conclusion that the "people" are the true heart of any neighborhood, not the building, parks or location. (Sorry for the spoiler here). I have found this one to be very useful in the classroom, not only to teach that we probably have it pretty good right where we are, but also to teach that it is people who make up the important things in our lives and not things. Franklin, though he my blunder at times, is truely a wise little turtle. The art work is of it's usual high quality that we have come to expect with the Franklin Books. Highly recommend this one.

Nice thought to give to 5 and 6 year olds..

My Kindergartners and I read your book today. What a nice thought. We are learning about our world this month to intergrate the thoughts of why people would consider moving to a new world(the Pilgrims) so we are starting out with the thought of what is a neighborhood? and then proceeding to families and friends--so you started it for us. Thanks.
