Franklin Piknik • Sharon Jennings • Sean Jeffrey, Sasha Mclntyre, Shelley Southern (Ilustrasi) • Flora Maharani (Alih bahasa) • Kanisius • 2011 • 32 hlm.

Franklin tidak suka ketika permainan bisbolnya terjeda karena harus makan siang. Ia juga tidak suka menunggu teman-temannya kembali dari makan siang untuk melanjutkan permainan mereka. Oleh karenanya, Franklin mengusulkan agar mereka berpiknik esok hari, sehingga mereka tidak perlu pulang ke rumah masing-masing untuk makan siang.

Franklin bersemangat menyiapkan bekal makanan untuk piknik. Ia sangat suka lalat. Menu makanan dan minuman yang ia siapkan untuk piknik serbalalat. Apakah teman-temannya juga suka lalat? Apakah piknik mereka berhasil dan menyenangkan?

Buku serial Franklin--si kura-kura kecil--ini adalah salah satu buku seri yang kami koleksi. Kami suka sekali membaca kisah petualangannya yang seru dan lucu, khas anak-anak sekali. Versi alih bahasa ini juga nyaman untuk dibaca.

Ilustrasi yang berwarna di tiap halamannya mampu memikat pembaca cilik. Ukuran huruf yang cukup besar dan renggang antar huruf atau barisnya, membuat buku ini pun tidak membuat lelah mata membacanya. Sayangnya, karena buku ini merupakan versi terjemahan dari Canada, nama-nama tokohnya sulit dibaca anak-anak.

Hal yang paling kusukai dari serial ini tentu saja soal pesan baik yang disampaikan. Melalui kisah Franklin kali ini, kita diingatkan bahwa tidak semua orang memiliki preferensi atau kesukaan yang sama. Meskipun demikian, tidak Ada salahnya untuk mencoba hal baru, atau mencoba lagi Hal yang dirasa kurang disukai. Namun, bagaimana kita perlu mengatasi agar perbedaan itu tidak menciptakan masalah, adalah hal penting lainnya. Apakah kamu juga suka buku Franklin?

The book that kicked off my daughter's longstanding Franklin Turtle obsession. Franklin's penchant for flies with everything puts him at odds with his pals, who much prefer ants. Like all Franklin Turtle books, it gets three stars.

This is a "Level 2 - Kids Can Read with Help" book. The sentences are short but there are quite a few words per page.

My child likes Franklin but this wasn't our favorite story. Most of the books have a good moral to them but I didn't think this one did. Instead, Franklin was persistent that he was right and his mom bailed him out when he failed.
