Thanksgiving just won't be the same without guests around the table, so Franklin decides to invite some friends for dinner. What a nice surprise it will be for his parents. Only Franklin's mother and father have the same idea, and on Thanksgiving Day all their friends show up for the festivities! With no more room in the house, where will the holiday meal take place?

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!
I GIVE THIS BOOK A FIVE STAR BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOUNGER KIDS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 1-6 ABOUT THE DARK AND HOW IT IS NOT SCARY.
First of all, the publication date listed for this item is not correct. It states that it will be out on February 1, 2011, but sent the item to me a few days ago and it is in my hands.It's 2011, and Franklin begins the celebration of his 25th anniversary with this wonderful book - a 25th anniversary edition of his very first adventure. This includes the complete, original "Franklin in the Dark." In the story, Franklin finds himself with a big problem. Turtles sleep in their shells, but it's dark in there, and Franklin is afraid of the dark. He drags his shell behind him and goes on a journey, looking for someone to help him with his problem. Though he doesn't find anyone who has a problem just like his, his adventure does give him an idea for how to overcome his fear.This 25th anniversary edition has so much more than the original story however. Included at the very beginning is Paulette Bourgeois's original manuscript - "The Turtle They Called Chicken," giving fans a rare look into the early development of the series. There is also original storyboard artwork and sketches, as well as letters from both Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark.The pages at the back of the book contains even more excellent supplementary material. Readers are given a look at the development of the entire series - from the books to the television show, with the promise of an upcoming CGI series in 2011. There are also pictures of many different types of "Franklin" merchandise, some of which I didn't even know existed. There is also a wonderful look at the Franklin Children's Garden in Canada and a section on international editions of "Franklin."If you or your children are fans of this intrepid young turtle, this 25th anniversary edition of the original is a can't miss.
My 3 1/2 year old loves this book - Franklin is a great series and I recommend it. It's a good addition to the series. We haven't read it as maniacly as some of the other books but she definately likes it.
I bought this book for using in therapy sessions with kids. The kids enjoy it because it's a fun story, but also brings up lots of good discussion points for discussing anxieties and how to cope with them. Recommended for therapeutic or general use.
Franklin is every young childâs friend. They can instantly connect with the young turtleâs sense of adventure and enjoy watching him work through familiar problems and solve them in his own way. All of them have been authored by Paulette Bourgeois and illustrated by Brenda Clark. They obviously made a wonderful team, since they have sold over 60 millions copies in over 30 languages. The stories are engaging and the pictures delightful. I love these books!!!
This is a touching book about a beloved turtle named Franklin. The special 25th edition is special in many ways: read the story of Franklin in the Dark, then learn more about Franklin and how he got his start, read a note from the author and illustrator, along with many other extras as well! The story is a great way to talk to your child about overcoming fears. We will definitely keep this book as a keepsake for many years!
Easy read, it's cute how everyone in Franklin's family ends up inviting different neighbors to their Thanksgiving celebration. Don't read too much into the grandparents not showing up, kids will love this book nonetheless.
