I'm not sure I like the "worried" part where Franklin is "worried" about Moose because he is big - that could have been left out and it would have been a better book. But the book shows that being different is okay and that you can have a variety of friends - which is good.
This is a very good book. I love the Franklin books. This book was about a moose that moved in and no one wanted to be friends with him because he was so big. Franklin ened up being friends with the moose at the end of the book. Moose is really nice and they are glad that they became friends with him.If you ever get a chance to read this book please do so it is a good book to read!!
My 4yo toddler is absolutely in love with the Franklin books. They are beautifully illustrated and they are the perfect length for a bedtime reading. You can stop and discuss these stories with the young kid and relate them to real life behavior and they are a great teaching tool. As of now the "New Friend" book is one of his favorites.
This is a delightful book to read especially is you are an elementary lower grade teacher with a new student coming into your classroom during the school year. I like all of the Franklin books and have shared them with many children over the years. This one about the new friend is particularly good and makes such a good point about how the 'new kid' feels when they move. It's hard and I think this book has helped some children and also made some of the 'old children' more aware of feelings. Franklin's New Friend is one of my favorite of the Franklin books and I like all of them. I would definitely want this book in my classroom and school library.
We like the Franklin books, and so does our 3 year old son. Always a good lesson to learn, lots of animals doing things that my boy really enjoys. I don't know if any of the lessons have sunk in, but having a good example to follow is always a good idea.
This was a good book to help children understand how it feels to be 'the new kid' at school or on the block. The only reason I didn't place this as 4 star (because the storyline was worth it) Franklin the turtle is a bit on the 'whiney' side for my taste and that is a negative in my book so one star was taken off for that.Franklin sees movers moving new furniture into the house in the neighborhood. He becomes scared because the furniture is for GIANTS! He then realizes that a family of moose are moving in. He's never seen moose before and are afraid of them because they are so big and so different than him and his friends. When he gets to school the next day he finds out that his new classmate is a 'little' boy from the moose family but he's SO BIG! Mr Owl reminds everyone to be nice and welcoming to moose, and assigns Franklin to be Moose buddy for the day. Franklin doesn't want to and at first doesn't do a good job; going off and playing with his old friends and doing things away from Moose. But then Mr Owl pulls him aside and reminds him that not matter what our size we all can be scared in our life. And for him to think about if it was him moving to a new house, new neighborhood, school etc how would he feel... then Franklin changes his mind and realizes that Moose was lonely and frightened too. At the end of the book they are best buddies teaching children that making new friends is a good thing
There is a new family in the neighborhood - moose! When Franklin sees how big they are, he is scared and races off home on his bike. However, in class the next day Mr. Owl asks Franklin to be a buddy to Moose.Read this delightful story of how it feels to be new in a place and no matter how big you are, you can still be scared. However, when you make an effort to make friends, it can all work out.WONDERFUL message for children. Beautiful artwork. Our kids LOVE the Franklin books.
My 2-year-old loves this book. He recognizes the animals and likes to tell me about them. It has a good story about learning to make new friends.
