In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our hero is a very lucky turtle. He has the best friends, the best little sister, the best goldfish and, of course, the best mother. But when he discovers that his mother's birthday is coming up, he can't find the best present. After giving it some serious thought, Franklin decides to do everything for his mom. On the morning of her birthday he takes her breakfast in bed, makes a brooch, draws a picture and cuts fresh flowers from the garden! And then Franklin gives his mom a great big hug and says, "I love you" -- which is, of course, the best gift of all.

This review is from: Franklin Says I Love You (Hardcover)

Franklin knows that he has the best mother in the world, and with her birthday coming up, he wants to get her the best gift ever. He asks his friends for some ideas, but none of them seem good enough. And in the end, Franklin learns that what his mother wants more than anything is three little words, "I love you."

This is a very good Franklin book, very touching. As with all of the Franklin stories, this one is very well written, and the illustrations are bright and well-done. This is a great book, one that I give my highest recommendations to!

As always, this Franklin book delivers a beautiful message and a tender moral. I love the way Franklin's parents use such great wisdom to guide little Franklin. We can all learn from these books!
