5.0 out of 5 stars Rerelease Improves Upon Great Story, January 16, 2004

This review is from: Franklin and the Baby (A Franklin TV Storybook) (Hardcover)

This 2003 rerelease is an excellent improvement on an already great story. All of the illustrations look brighter and crisper and the story remains cute and charming as always. Franklin shares in the joy of his friend Bear's becoming a big brother and Bear learns that even though his parents are spending a lot of time with the baby, there's ways he can help as well.

One thing I really like about this rerelease is that a number of the recent "Franklin" book releases have included Franklin's sister Harriet in stories she wasn't in before, but this one correctly preserves the timeline of the series. Everything is how it should be.
