1: 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: 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.

3: 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. He tells 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.

4: A Gentle Friend
Feeling overwhelmed by the amazing accomplishments of his friends, Franklin wants to feel important, too. Brashly he fibs about how many flies he can eat in the blink of an eye. Then he must deal with the consequences of his lie. As Franklin learns about proper conduct and relationships, children can identify with the situations of this gentle friend. They may need help in understanding what a fib or a lie is. Now if the authors would only write about Franklin's Awful Word or Franklin is Rude.

5: All Franklin books are the best.
Franklin is the cutest little turtle. I love all the Franklin books. They each teach an important lesson of what children go through growing up. The illustrations are marvelous. Very bright and colorful.
