Two nighttime episodes from Franklin, the popular Nick Jr. series that's a little more hip than Little Bear and a little less talky than Arthur. "Franklin in the Dark" finds nighttime a scary thing for Franklin. Luckily, Mom has a story to help her youngster get over his troubles: A young turtle, very much like Franklin, is scared of going into his dark shell at night. To conquer his anxiety, he learns from several animals their own fears and how they overcome them. In "Franklin and his Night Friend," Franklin finds a new pal, the neighborhood bat. Fast friends they could become, if only they weren't up at the wrong hours. A different solution is found to learn an important lesson. Albeit only 25 minutes, this is a solid entry in the series for ages 3 to 6. --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids will love Franklin and his friends, September 14, 2002

This review is from: Franklin - Franklin In the Dark [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Franklin series of videos and books offer wonderful animation and these stories will teach your children valuable lessons. "Franklin in the Dark" illustrates that you don't need to fear the dark through a lovely story told by Mrs. Turtle.

The adventures of Franklin, Bear, Beaver, Fox, and Goose allow kids to learn while still having fun. The diversity of the characters (Badger walks with two canes) demonstrates that all kids can play together, no matter what may look different.

A pleasant series to enjoy (I watch Franklin sometimes without my kids! Because I am still a kid at heart). Worth 5 stars.
