Editorial Review

Yet more wisdom cast down from high atop Mt. Seuss, this cheerful trio of tales teaches some valuable lessons in humility--thanks to a sharp-eyed worm, a bragging bear and rabbit, a fuzzy-tailed bird, and a couple hundred turtles led by their foolish King Yertle.Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing...
I bought this book for my 21 month old as she loves so many of the Dr. Suess books.We didn't even get through the first couple of pages before she was bored with the story and illustrations.Maybe she'll like it better in a few years, but for now it is just sitting on the shelf...

4-0 out of 5 stars A story with a twist
My family have been happy fans of Dr Seuss and we enjoyed this book, it's quite funny because as a adult reading this to your children, you can't help but think that there is a message in the story aimed at the adults !!!! That's the way I saw it anyway !!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Satire
Greed. Abuse of Power.The king of the pond will literally step on others to get what he wants. Until a plain little turtle below in the stack, his name is Mac, precipitates change.Great introduction to satire, pokes fun at human shortcoming.Dr. Seuss rhythm and rhyme. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A reminder to kids (and parents) how much fun Halloween is
"Franklin's Halloween" is a book that emphasizes to young kids how much fun Halloween can be.Franklin and his friends are all looking forward to the big Halloween party and trying to come up with the best costume.What Franklin comes up with is the "Franklinstein" monster and once thing you should pay attention to are the neat little details in his costume: the drawn on stitches on his wrists, the fake forehead, and the corks for bolts (in other words, this looks like an actual costume you can make for your kid).There are actually several other costume possibilities you might pick up from this book, so kudos to Brenda Clark for drawing such fanciful but realistic costumes, as well as for providing so much detail in all of her paintings.The strength of Paulette Bourgeois story is that her characters are all having such fun that when she adds a message to her story it seems the most natural point in the world to make.Franklin and his friends are just the sort of party animals you want to spend the night with on Halloween.

4-0 out of 5 stars Franklin Shows That Halloween Is Fun, Not Scary
Franklin is a little cutie and he has lots of nice friends. They are all excited that Halloween is coming and they are making big plans. The bright colored, detailed illustrations of the quaint woodland world where they live are brimming with wholesome, good-natured fun.This is a good book for introducing Halloween to little ones so that they will not be unnerved by mysterious ghouls who'll come knocking on their doors on Halloween. It shows Franklin and friends getting their costumes ready for a party, painting, cutting and pasting decorations, bobbing for apples, playing a pumpkin toss game, and trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. They're a little spooked when they visit a make-believe haunted house but it turns out to be fun and they solve a mystery!They pool some of their goodies to deliver to their friend who is ill and can't go out trick-or-treating.It also shows little Franklin getting carried home in the arms of Daddy with Mommy walking along beside.It's heart-warming and has enough action to hold a little one's attention so they can become familiar with common Halloween disguises. It's easy to see from the pictures that Franklin is Franklinstein, Fox is clearly the mummy, Skunk is Dracula, and Goose is a wolf. Our friends dress up but we know it's still them underneath the make-up and masks.Franklin is a lot of fun at Halloween.Enjoy!

5-0 out of 5 stars Franklinstein
My sons wants to be Franklistein for Halloween. In the book all of Franklin friends'costumes are a secret, but Bear's. They think Bear is the ghost, but it's Mr. Owl. They find out that Bear is home sick and take some of their candy to them. It teaches sharing and caring for others. ... Read more

Now this is really one of my favorite books because it is so fun to get lost in it. The first time I read it I was only supposed to for 20 minuetes but I ended up reading the whole book that night. The title is Esio Trot by Roald Dahl. I highly recomend this to kids who like to get lost in their books!

5-0 out of 5 stars An Answer to an Age of Extremism
In an age of religious extremism, where every little group is convinced that it is the holder of the Truth, and every other group is mortally and sinfully wrong, this book presents an opportunity for discussion with your children.It does not answer what The Truth is (well maybe minimally).It discusses what it means to fervantly believe in a "broken truth" an incompete truth, that in the end puts you at odds with everyone else.It is an excellent lead in to the discussion of how it could be that human war over Truth (as if Truth needs assistance from Humans and guns).

5-0 out of 5 stars The Truth is Out There!
Once in a land faraway, a truth fell from the sky and broke in half . . . and so begins the powerful fable told in lyrical words by Douglas Wood, accompanied by the evocative watercolor art of Jon J. Muth.Compared to many picture books, this volume appears subdued and perhaps more than a little daunting for book shoppers.But you know what they say about judging a book by its cover . . .

5-0 out of 5 stars Franklin's Thanksgiving
This Book is one of my favorites. Franklin starts off in the beginning really upset because His grandparents couldn't make it for thanksgiving this year. It had always been a tradition for the family to get together and celebrate the holiday. So to make e Franklin happy his parents went out and invited other people in the town to come to dinner for a surprise. Not knowing Franklin invited his own people. So when thanksgiving morning came tons of people were at the house. And they all had a great thanksgiving. I would recommend this book to children 4-10. It was really cute and had great detailed pictures.

5-0 out of 5 stars Thankful for Franklin
Thanksgiving often gets covered up with the rush for Christmas and we were looking for something to help us properly recognize this family holiday. Sharon Jennings gives us a warm story of Franklin's family that fits the bill.My 4 year old loves Franklin and this story is helping bridge the time between Halloween and Thanksgiving by giving us a family story worth sharing.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Whimsical Book
I absoultely love this book.I am asked repeatedly to read this book to my 3 children ages 8, 5, and 18 months.They really enjoy the rhymes and the illustrations.As a rather finicky mom, I can whole heartedly recommend this book!!It is so fun to read.

5-0 out of 5 stars Pleasingly Plump and Perky!
Grammy got this for my kids and they LOVE it. The story is goofy, which appeals to my preschooler and first grader both. They love looking for Pete on the end papers, and at the website. Talk about fun! The rhymes are great for my first grade reader, and fun to listen to also. The colourful pictures and meter of the text hold my one year old's attention as well. A great all around family book! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A VERY WELL DONE AND INFORMATIVE BOOK - KIDS LOVE THIS ONE
There is so much information packed into this work that it is difficult to imagine how the author and illustrator pulled it off.This is the story of the life cycle of the loggerhead turtle.The illustrations are beautiful and actually quite accurate.The text is simple and very, very well done.It follows the illustrations perfectly and is just overflowing with good information. This book, while great for kids to read on their own (this is one of the more used books in our school library), it is also great to read to the class as a whole as it never fails to bring on good questions and good discussions (better know your turtles when faces with a bunch of third graders).

5-0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Book!
I like this story because it tells me a lot about loggerhead turtles. My favorite part about the story is the interesting fact that turtles cry. I never knew that! Turtles lay one to ten eggs, but at least five live. I learned that. They lay their eggs at night. I like this book because it is a wonderful story about turtles and I think everyone should read it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fun to Read and Very Educational.
This interesting book explains to children the basic life cycle of a loggerhead sea turtle. The book opens with a brief introduction explaining that a sea turtle is related to tortoises and terrapins, but they are different types of animals. After the one-page introduction, the actual story begins. We follow the life cycle of a sea turtle called Loggerhead from the time she is a small turtle living and hiding in sea weeds and drift wood to the time Loggerhead swims to the mating beaches to mate and lay her eggs. The last pages of the book include a brief index that can help teach children what an index is and how to use it. ONE TINY TURTLE is a great reading science book for young children. It's very factual and realistic in displaying and describing what we know of the life of a sea turtle (for instance, after the eggs are hatched, it makes it clear that only a few baby turtles ever make it to the ocean and the rest are eaten by crabs and birds). Highly recommended, especially for anyone who likes turtles. ... Read more

This book was great for my six year old preparing to go to the hospital.It was really important for him to realize that it is okay to be scared,that it is part of the whole experience,you just need to talk about it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Franklin Learns About the Hospital, and Bravery
Kids love Franklin the turtle and so if they have to go the hospital, this book will really help.
5-0 out of 5 stars The absolute best of its kind!
As a children's librarian, this is the best book I've found so far for children that explains what a trip to the hospital is like. In the story, Franklin accidentally gets a crack in his shell while playing soccer, and must have a simple operation to fix it. Franklin is nervous, and tries to be brave, but inside, he's a little frightened. Everything is explained, in detail, from the hospital bracelet with your name on it, how an X-Ray machine works, even the numbing medicine put on Franklin's hand so he doesn't feel the needle for the anesthetic. It also explains that while your parents cannot be in the operating room with you, they will be right there when you wake up! As with all the Franklin books, the illustrations are beautiful, and this book is no exception. All of the details are there, right down to the rails on the hospital bed and the IV stand. I highly reccommend this book to any child who's nervous about a stay in the hospital, or simply to anyone who's curious! ... Read more

The artwork lured me to this book.Each page has a marvelous rendition of a sea turtle's nesting saga. The storytelling is accurate but lyrical so even the youngest children will be captivated. I highly recommend it for parents and grandparents to give to the children they love--especially if you're headed for the beach!

5-0 out of 5 stars Kudos from my Grandson
My grandson, Cameron Howard, has checked this book out from the library on numerous ocassions.Despite his generally responsible attitude toward returning books in a timely manner, he just can't get this book back when it's due.Why?Because he is busy reading and re-reading the book.He iscaptovated by the pictures.He is infactuated with the text and dazzled bythe illustrations.He called me up to see if I could get him this book. This seven year old made sure I knew the exact spelling of the author'sname and the illustrator's name!It's a hit among the 7 year old crowd! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Must-have book for children with messy rooms
The first time I read this book to my son, almost 5 years old, he quietly sat and thought about it for a while afterwards.It actually motivated him to clean up and keep up (well,for a while at least!) his room.It gives achild great motivation to clean up by showing what treasures they mighthave lost that might turn up. My almost three year old daughter carries itaround with her all the time. A wonderful, sweet and funny book!

4-0 out of 5 stars A great teaching book!
We have read this over and over!My son loves Franklin and wehave been able to use this book to help him understand the importanceof taking care of his room.

4-0 out of 5 stars A pleasure to read with my child.
Like all the Franklin books, I found "Franklin is Messy" a delight to read with my young son. The pictures are lively and the story is one many children can relate to in their own lives. Another importantfeature is the use of cardboard swords as opposed to toy guns, whichFranklin and his friends played with. The swords were used againstimaginary dragons and not against each other. I would like to thank theauthors for that. Children will play these sorts of games, but in this casethe friends aren't directing any violence towards each other. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars This was a bad book for us
This was our first Franklin book and my son really, really likes Franklin now.I had never heard of him before this book, which was a "gift" from the pediatrician for my son's pre-preschool check-up.
5-0 out of 5 stars Please read Franklin in the Dark
This is the best of all of the Franklin stories, and the first one published.It's a wonderful read aloud story, a great story for children to act out, and an easy way to begin a discussion of "things that scare us".Children are amazed to learn that grownups can be frightened of things too.This book should be in every child's home collection and in every elementary teacher's too!

The story was mainly told in the forest. The main characters in the story was Franklin. The minor characters were bear,rabbit,foxbeaver skunk. The theme was that this book would be that school is alot of fun and don't be afraid to go there. School is a good learning experience. The style would be that the author has a picture on every page and it has friends playing and having fun on every page.

5-0 out of 5 stars A VERY SWEET AND ENDEARING BOOK

5-0 out of 5 stars GREAT STORY, GREAT LESSON LEARNED BY FRANKLIN
I like Franklin books and stories and this, like most of the series, lived up to my expectations.Franklin tells a bit of a fib, and naturally, as is usual in such cases, is caught.Franklin is just like any other kid of this age, sometimes the tall tales are just to tempting when wanting to impress friends.The story is quite well illustrated, the text matches the illustrations and this is just a good read for children.This is a wonderful book to discuss the subject of telling untruths with the children. This work holds the childs interest from page one and they love the illustrations. I was pleased to see that the author did not have the parents deal out some sort of awful punishment for his crime.Most often, just the fact of being caught in a fib, the embarrassment, is quite enough to teach the child (or in this case, the turtle) a good lesson.I can well remember when I was that age.Had I been "punished" for all my tall tales I would still be serving time.All in all, an excellent book and I highly recommend this one.

2-0 out of 5 stars Good
Good book to show that lying is not a good idea. However, Franklin is never really disciplined on why it is not a good idea to lie.

4-0 out of 5 stars Franklin Fibs
This story was about a turtle named Franklin who lies to his friends. Franklin�s friends can all do something unique like climbing the highest tree, flying over the berry patch without flapping their wings, and chopping down a tree with using just their teeth. Well Franklin gets really jealous so he makes up a lie. Hetells all of his friends he can eat 76 flies in the blink of an eye. The lesson this book teaches is not to lie. The age level of this book is about from ages 5-8. I liked this book because it teaches an important lesson that all children need to learn. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An entertaining picturebook approach that has an underlying theme of explaining to young readers just what AD/HD is
The newly published second edition of Shelley The Hyperactive Turtle by Deborah M. Moss is very nicely illustrated by Carol Schwartz and is the creative tale of Shelley the Turtle and his problem with AD/HD. Introducing the colorful tale of Shelley's hyperactive, energetic behavior, Shelley The Hyperactive Turtle is an entertaining picturebook approach that has an underlying theme of explaining to young readers just what AD/HD is and the serious effects that unrecognized or untreated it can have on some people's lives, but with the proper help, the condition AD/HD can be helped and an active, positive life can be led. An important addition to school, community, and family counseling collections, Shelley The Hyperactive Turtle is very highly recommend for all parents, teachers, physicians, and counselors searching for a sensitive and effective introduction to AD/HD based hyperactivity which would be suitable and appropriate for children ages 5 to 8 .

5-0 out of 5 stars Hurry the tortoise observes the life cycle of the migranting monarch butterfly
Each fall the beautiful orange and black monarch butterflies migrate two thousand miles from Canada to Mexico.The facts about this migration are explained by Antoine O Flatharta in the Afterword to "Hurry and the Monarch," where young readers will learn about how each monarch begins life as a tiny egg on the underside of a milkweed leaf.However, it is the monarchs that are born in early autumn that end up making the long journey to Mexico, where they travel from 50 to 125 miles in a single day until they arrive in the fir forests of Mexico in early November and blanket the forest with millions of orange colored wings.Whereas the usual life span of a butterfly is four to six weeks, the monarchs that journey to Mexico usually live up to eight months and sometimes more.Compare this to the life of a land tortoise, which can live up to 100 years or more.That comparison is apt because in "Hurry and the Monarch" one of the beautiful butterflies makes friends with a tortoise named Hurry.
