A true gem! This book will inspire little ones to help others. It teaches them to be superheros in everyday life by lending a helping hand and that giving can sometimes be more special than receiving. What could be more rewarding! I believe it is the greatest book in the Franklin series and we've read them all!

A Franklin le gusta jugar futbol. ¿Pero porqué su equipo nunca ha ganado un partido? En este libro entretenido, Franklin aprende que para poder ganar, su equipo tiene que trabajar juntos. Yo le leo este libro a mis hermanitos, y a ellos les encanta. Yo recomiendo este libro para todos los niños de 3 a 7 años.

I like the Franklin books because morally they are good books. I am comfortable with my child reading and looking at them. Reading this book to your child is a good way to teach them to say SORRY!

I was quite pleased when I learned that this book was going to be available. This is a novelization of one of the lost fifth season episodes of the "Franklin" television series. This is one of many stories that viewers never got to see due to the cancellation of the program after the fourth season. Overall the story itself is fairly decent. Franklin is tired of having to go bed so early all the time and so he convinces his Mom to allow him to invite his friends for a "stay-up over." However, his plans start to fail when all of his friends want to get some sleep, but he keeps trying to find ways to keep them awake. Those who miss the television show will probably be pleased with this novelization, as there's a good chance this story may never make it to video.

This is a great book in the Franklin series! Franklin learns not to "follow the crowd". His friend's think his new helmet is uncool, but he learns that it's not important what they think... HE likes it, and that's what matters!

This book is an exciting and educational book typical of the franklin series. Franklin's secret club teaches children the value of including everyone and the benefit of having everyones different ideas. Colourful large pictures and interesting events make the lesson an easy one to learn.

My son really enjoys all the Franklin books. They all teach lessons to children that they can relate to. Franklin's Class Trip teaches children that they don't have to be afraid of new things.

Franklin's School Play is a cute and entertaining book. I enjoyed it very much. It is about a young turtle named Franklin who has a main role in his school's Christmas play, The Nutcracker. The day before the the opening night, Franklin gets so nervous that he can't speak. But, fortunately, he later gains his confidence and does great in the main performance. I think the book teaches kids that it's ok to be afraid sometimes, and that one can succeed if he or she works hard. It is also a great story to put a person in the Christmas mood.

My Kindergartners and I read your book today. What a nice thought. We are learning about our world this month to intergrate the thoughts of why people would consider moving to a new world(the Pilgrims) so we are starting out with the thought of what is a neighborhood? and then proceeding to families and friends--so you started it for us. Thanks.

As a mother of three small children, I love all of the Franklin series books. This book was particularly poignant at this time of year when children get focussed on the recieving part of their holidays. It lead us into a discussion about giving and how that can feel just as wonderful as getting. After that, my children were actually eager to participate in donating toys to our local church.
