This book is a classic, and a must have for every child's library. Every book in the "Franklin" series captivates children in a fun and delightful way. Franklin is a character that children can relate to; and the situations he ends up in are situations they can always learn from. This is true even more-so for "Franklin is Bossy." Follow Franklin through his wonderful world, as he learns the value of taking turns, and listening to others' opinions. It's a fun, colorful story and lesson that no child should be without!
This was the first in the series that i bought for my 21/2 year old nephew. He loved it and demands that his Dad read it over and over again. Of course I was led to to buy several others. My nephew is very cognizant of the powerful message that is sent by each story and asks many questions. He has been attending school for a year now and is particulary taken by "Franklin meets a friend" The illustrations are of course rich in color and activity. My nephew engages in discussion during the reading because of the so very interesting illustrations. I recommend the series highly to all parents!
Franklin is Mr. bossy in this book. He doesn't let his friends give their opinion on what they want to do. Franklin always pickw want they are going to do or play.

Franklin Is Bossy in this book. He always wants to do what he wants to do. He won't let his friends pick the game... whether its baseball, marbles, racing, or just swimming. Every time Franklin starts losing he decides to change the game. He gets into a fight with bear and he goes home and plays with himself but gets bored. So he decides to go see if his friends are still mad at him. They are not they had forgiven him. Until he starts telling his friends where to play when they are playing baseball so they all leave. He goes home and helps his father all day because all his friends are mad at him. I think it is a very good book for younger kids because they have to learn to share and they will not always get everything they want. But it also points out that you can't be mad at your friends forever because at the end of the book Franklin and Bear make up.
Franklin is every young child's friend. They can instantly connect with the young turtle's 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!!!
Let's face it, most kids like to get their own way and play what they want to play ALL the time! Franklin is no different but in this story, his friends have had enough of his bossiness and Franklin finds himself playing by himself a couple times. One time, he has a big falling out with his best friend Bear.Bear and Franklin both learn the value of saying "Sorry" and Franklin learns that he can still have fun even when he isn't doing what he wants all the time.GREAT story with beautiful illustrations. Our kids LOVE all the Franklin stories.
Once again the author goes vague on consequences with bad behavior. Franklin is basically a control-obsessed brat to his friends, doesn't get his way, but eventually he comes around and everything works out. Yeah, whatever. Other books in this series teach that lying and deception are basically not all that bad and that eventually the main character figures it out with no real discipline or substantial direction from his turtle parents.
I've been trying to figure out how to teach my son that being bossy isn't a great way to make friends and keep them. I know that I can only preach so much and that over time he'll learn the hard way. Luckily, I found this book! It was great. It showed how Franklin was always bossing his friends around and only wanted to play "his way." Well, that didn't get him very far with his friends. Now when my son is bossing me around I'll remind him about Franklin. It makes him stop and think for a moment. What a great learning tool. This was great. I'm now going to get more Franklin books. Thanks!
