Customer Reviews

A great resource

Having a little sister is proving quite frustrating for Franklin - she cries all the time, she tries to steal his toys, and she is just plain irritating. But, before he even knows it, Franklin's mother shows him just how rewarding it can be to have a little sister! This is an absolutely wonderful book. I too have a boy who found his little sister quite irritating. This book is a great resource that should be given to every family who adds another child into an existing family. The story is interesting and the illustrations are bright and well-done - which will engage the youngster's attention. I highly recommend this book.

Cute Book, Great Story and Pictures

This is another excellent "Franklin" release. This story is all about some of the issues Franklin faces with his sister, Harriet, who is now a toddler. Franklin likes being a big brother, but when Harriet starts thinking that his dog Sam is hers, he begins to see things in a different light. (And if you know about Franklin, then you know how important Sam is to him.) Fortunately, like a lot of brother/sister quarrels, this is only a temporary problem and Franklin learns that Harriet isn't so bad after all. Each page of the story is beautifully illustrated and it reads well also.

Hooray for big brothers!

If your child loves Franklin, he'll love this book! Franklin learns that even though he doesn't like being a big brother ALL of the time...he loves his sister very much, and she really loves him. I would recommend it to all Franklin lovers!
