Horn Book Review

These four stories+about adjusting to a substitute teacher, not following through on a promise, compromising, and wanting a nickname+are based on episodes from the popular television series starring sensitive turtle Franklin. Some children may respond well to the bright cartoony images, but all four tales are heavy on moral lessons and light on skilled storytelling. (c) Copyright 2010.
