Like all the Franklin books, I found "Franklin is Messy" a delight to read with my young son. The pictures are lively and the story is one many children can relate to in their own lives. Another important feature is the use of cardboard swords as opposed to toy guns, which Franklin and his friends played with. The swords were used against imaginary dragons and not against each other. I would like to thank the authors for that. Children will play these sorts of games, but in this case the friends aren't directing any violence towards each other.

The first time I read this book to my son, almost 5 years old, he quietly sat and thought about it for a while afterwards. It actually motivated him to clean up and keep up (well,for a while at least!) his room. It gives a child great motivation to clean up by showing what treasures they might have lost that might turn up. My almost three year old daughter carries it around with her all the time. A wonderful, sweet and funny book!

We have read this over and over! My son loves Franklin and wehave been able to use this book to help him understand the importanceof taking care of his room.

great product my son loved it. Arrived on time and in excellent condition, i will buy again from amazon.com i greatly appreciate my experience.

A great gift for our nearly 4 year old granddaughter. She loves these books.

My step son is 5 and he's starting to learn how to read...I'll read to him and he'll re-read what I jsut read. It's helping him learn words. The story is great and easy to follow!

My 2 year old daughter is a big fan of Franklin, plus she likes for everything to be neat and tidy. Therefore, this book is perfect for her. She loves it when Franklin breaks his sword (because of the messy room) and has to tidy up and make a new one. End the end he earns the title of Franklin the Brave and Neat. She can really relate to the story and loves reading it over and over.
