Customer Reviews

Good for military kids

We are a military family and I think this book really helped my daughter realize that moving away doesn't mean the end of friendships.

Frankleen mad

Franklin is mad and having a bad day. Franklin does not want to do anything. He misses his friend.

Franklin's the best

We love the Franklin series. He lives a real life, and teaches honest lessons. He doesn't always win, but even that is appealing in this book.

My friend moved away

This is a very touching book. It shows emotions of what happens when a close friend moves away. Frankin takes it out on everybody. But in the end his father figures out that it was Otter's moving that upset Franklin. His father told him how they can still stay in contact with each other. Franklin sent Otter a puzzle that he made.

Another lesson by Franklin

Franklin, our favorite little turtle, struggles through the day after his good friend Otter moves away. Everything seems to go wrong until he finally has a relieving talk with dad and realizes that he hasn't really lost his buddy, but that their relationship simlpy has to take on a new dimension. This is yet another greatly illustrated, wonderful book in the Franklin series, which helps teach life's lessons and morals to our young ones.
