In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our hero is thrilled to learn he'll be a big brother in the spring. He can hardly wait for the new baby, but spring seems a long time away. Franklin does everything he can to make spring come, but nothing happens. Even the seed he planted at school doesn't look like it will ever become a plant. Then, one day, spring finally appears and something very special arrives ? something little and green and absolutely wonderful!

Horn Book Review

Franklin the turtle waits for spring when his new baby brother or sister will be born. After what seems like a long wait, the baby finally arrives on the same day a seed Franklin planted in school sprouts. The story is trite and the illustrations, though colorful, are bland. (Detail-minded young naturalists may wonder at the birth of a live turtle--no eggs here.) From HORN BOOK Spring 2001, (c) Copyright 2010.
