A well-intentioned lecture on keeping your room clean, with a punchline and moral that any kid can see coming a mile away.
Franklin is… MESSY. And it is starting to become a problem. He can't find anything! His room is an absolute disaster. He can't seem to find his sword he had made, and without his sword, he can't play with his friends! What is Franklin to do? One of his friends comes over to ask for a puzzle back that they had lent Franklin, but Franklin couldn't find it anywhere. This was enough- Franklin's parents had him put together four boxes so that he could stay organized… sure enough, he found the game his friend was looking for, his broken sword, and enough material to fix the sword! Now he was an awesome soldier and was neat.

Genre: Fantasy
Fantasy for primary grade levely. Franklin has a very messy room and because of his mess loses many things and end up breaking a toy. He gets organized and finds out how important it is to keep things tidy, Media: Watercolor
