Description
Franklin's Baby Sister In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our hero is thrilled to learn he'll be a big brother in the spring. He can hardly wait for the new baby, but spring seems a long time away. Franklin does everything he can to make spring come, but nothing happens. Even the seed he planted at school doesn't look like it will ever become a plant. Then, one day, spring finally appears and something very special arrives ... something little and green and absolutely show more wonderful! Franklin's Class Trip In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin is excited about his class trip to the museum. Just before they go inside, Beaver tells him that they'll see real dinosaurs. At first Franklin is worried, but he has so much fun seeing and doing other things in the museum that he almost forgets about the dinosaurs—until he comes face-to-face with a tyrannosaurus! Hurry Up, Franklin In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin sets off to Bear's house for a birthday party, but it's far from a straightforward journey. Like most preschoolers, Franklin is a dawdler, slow even for a turtle. The trip becomes an opportunity to play leapfrog with Rabbit, slip and slide in the mud with Otter, and maybe even play hide-and-seek with Fox. But just in time, Franklin remembers that he mustn't be late for Bear's special day. This fixed-layout ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book, features read-along narration by the author as well as music and sound effects.. show less

There are two reasons why I liked this book. First, I liked the plot. The story was very organized and went at a good pace. Also, the story had a conflict and was suspenseful. For example, the conflict of the story was that Franklin was waiting for his baby sister to come and he felt like she was never going to get here. A second thing I liked about the story was the point of view. I personally enjoy how the stories are told in third person, but are focused mainly on Franklin. This gives us a full story of what is happening, but can also relate to Franklin and his feelings too. Overall, the big idea of the story is patience. Eventually, Franklin’s baby sister arrived and he realized how much he loved her already.
Resolutely ordinary Franklin Turtle fare. Giving kids exactly what they expect since... Well, for a long time.
Franklin has been waiting all winter for his baby sister to be born. The problem is, she won't be born until spring >.
In this book Franklin gets a baby sister named Harriet. He does not want to wait for spring to come though. My favorite part is when Franklin gets his baby sister Harriet
