In this Franklin TV Storybook, it's Earth Day and Mr. Heron is giving away free trees. Franklin can hardly wait to plant a big climbing tree in his backyard. But when Franklin gets to the village square, Mr. Heron hands him a tiny sapling. Disappointed, Franklin doesn't notice when the little tree falls off his wagon. On his search for the lost tree, Franklin discovers that even the very biggest trees in the village started out as something small.

Franklin Plants a Tree,
By "kay3" (Winchendon, Ma. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franklin Plants a Tree (Franklin TV Storybooks (Kids Can Paperback)) (Paperback)
As a paraprofessional in a public school system, I would highly recommend this book for any young child. This story represents an excellent teaching example to children about the importance of responsibility and their role in accepting responsibility. It also demonstrates how children can benefit from each other's friendship. With spring almost here, I feel every child would benefit having this book. These Franklin books, published by Scholastic, in my opinion, are an excellent educational resource for all young children.

4.0 out of 5 stars
patience and hope,
This review is from: Franklin Plants a Tree (Franklin TV Storybooks (Kids Can Paperback)) (Paperback)
Franklin the turtle loves to play in trees, so when he hears about Mr. Herongiving away trees for Earth Day, he digs a big hole and plans to build a treehouse and a swing the same day. He is sorely disappointed to get a mere sapling! Through the story he learns from other animals and his parents about patience and hope and tree care. Franklin thinks and feels like a real kid, and the message does not overpower the story. Maybe not a classic re-read at home, but highly recommended for school libraries.
