Good

Shows Franklin promises to do chores for Mr. Mole, but he forgets and does other things. Finally Mr. Mole returns to find his flowers are all droopy. Franklin admits to his error and Mr. Mole forgives him. Good book to show not to procrastinate, nor forget, not break promises.

A Lesson in Responsibility.

Young Franklin Turtle keeps his room clean, helps out with chores, and is becoming a responsible turtle. When he learns that Mr. Mole is leaving on a four-day vacation and needs someone to water his flower garden, Franklin quickly volunteers. However, Franklin soon learns that agreeing to the job may have been more than he bargained.This book based on a children's television show is a delight to read to children. The illustrations are taken directly from the show and are bright, full of color and action. The moral of this particular story is about being responsible for the things we do and don't do in life. Great for children ages 3-8.
