I remember seeing the show Franklin, but I never really put much thought into the books. This was the first Franklin book that i’ve read and I enjoyed it a lot. It was such a great read and I loved the plot. ( )

The Franklin books have always been a classic and a favorite of mine. These books really correlate with real life examples of what some kids may go through. It teaches children to have courage, kindness and much much more! ( )

I liked this book for a few different reasons. First, I thought that this book did a great job of explaining how Franklin feels. It goes from being in first person, back to third person. It allows you to see how Franklin feels inside, but also how he reacts when others are around. His whole journey and experience is easy for many readers to connect too. For example, Franklin says “I already have a full tummy. It feels like it is full of jumping frogs.” This specific quote from the book is very engaging for any type of readers. If a teacher were reading this book to a class of students, the teacher can involve the students in the story by making connections with Franklin. The illustrations go along with every move on how Franklin feels throughout the school day. For example, when the book says, “Franklin hugged his mother, then his father. He kept hugging even after his friends had found seat.” The image that goes along with this specific text allows you to connect why Franklin hugged his parents for so long. You can see his facial experiences and how scared and nervous he was for the first day of school. The message of this book is that even if you are scared to do something, you can end up finding many things you love about it once you give it a shot and put yourself out there. Not everyone is going to know the same things, it is all about learning. ( )
