Franklin wants a shiny, red scooter just like his friend Rabbit's, but Franklin doesn't have enough money to buy one. To raise funds, Franklin sets up a lemonade stand and a yard sale --- but still falls short. Then he discovers that Rabbit wants a bicycle. Since Franklin already owns a bicycle, the two friends arrive at the perfect solution: sharing. This Level 2 first reader contains longer stories, varied sentences, increased vocabulary, more difficult visual clues and some repetition.

Horn Book Review

Based on episodes from the animated TV series, these two stories feature Franklin the turtle's efforts to solve a problem. In Scooter, he tries to earn money to buy a new scooter; in Contest, he competes in a contest. These adaptations, illustrated with cartoon art, are obvious TV spin-offs.
