Horn Book Review

In these books, based on episodes of the popular television cartoon, Franklin the turtle learns about honesty (in Bubble Gum) and pride of craftsmanship (in Soapbox). As usual, the writing is standard and the plots are telegraphed. The stories may satisfy Franklin fans just learning to read on their own but won't hold the attention of other young readers.
