Reviews

[Rosa Cline]

This was a really cute Franklin the turtle book. There was no whinning or name calling as in some of the books. It teaches children to slow down when they eat. Franklin learns that lesson the hard way as he ends up getting the hiccups for a few days. Everyone he comes in contact with (his teacher, his friends, his parents and even his Granny) gives him advice on getting rid of them. My special needs teenage son enjoyed listening to this book as I read it to him.
