Customer Reviews

A Must for Little Ones

I bought this book for my little one for Christmas. We read at least 2 stories every night before bed. Although he is a 3-year-old, he sits quietly and listens to Mommy read a Franklin story. These stories are great for teaching emotions and other small lessons.

Great Stories

This is a great book. Wonderful illustrations and the stories are long enough for children 4+, but short enough to keep interest. It's a nice hardcover book with moral packed storylines. Great for any kids library.

Franklin fans will love it.

Franklin, the charming emotional turtle graces the pages and stories in this great collection. I do not find Franklin "overly precious" at all.He has the emotions of a child, and problems of a child. Little ones feel close to him and it leads them through postive problem solving techniques.My son, who is five, loves the television show and his grandparents bought him the Franklin Classic Treasury. He loves to sprawl out on the floor and look at it while I read it to him. As a result, he truly seems to identify with Franklin's problems.All children are afraid, or sad at some point. This is an excellent book for a young one. It's a very nature oriented collection for stories.

Buy one, and get four

This great collection of Franklin stories, gives you four wonderful stories in one book!The titles included in this treasury are: Franklin in the Dark; Hurry Up, Franklin; Franklin Fibs; and Franklin Is Bossy. Franklin is a wonderful, young role model for readers and listeners. He does not always do what is expected of him, but by the end of the story, he and the reader know what is right. For anyone new to the Franklin series, this is a great way to become aquainted with some of the best stories. A child's fear of the dark will be eased with the help of Franklin, in Franklin in the Dark. The consequences of fibbing are illustrated in Franklin Fibs. Paulette Bourgeois has done an excellent job with all the Franklin stories and it is great to be able to get four in one collection.
