5.0 out of 5 stars FRANKLIN GROWS UP..., August 2, 2001

By 

Amanda Cunningham (Stony Brook, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Franklin And The Tooth Fairy (Paperback)

This book is all about feeling grown up. When Franklin's friend Bear has a loose tooth he tells Franklin. Bear is excited because he wants the Tooth Fairy to leave him a present. Franklin feels sad because he doesn't have any teeth and he wants a present too. Franklin's parents tell him that turtles don't need any teeth. Franklin puts a pretend turtle tooth under his shell when he goes to sleep to fool the Tooth Fairy so she can bring him a present. But he gets a note saying "nice try Franklin". Franklin is sad but in the end he learns that growing up is more than just about losing teeth.

I think this book is very funny because it tells about growing up. I would give it to all my firnds and everybody in the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for lovers of Franklin--Not a "tooth fairy" book, October 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Franklin and the Tooth Fairy (Hardcover)

Franklin is upset when the tooth fairy visits his friends but not him. The book discribes a "rite of passage" for Franklin's deliema, not a tooth fairy story relating to an actual child's experience.

As a first grade teacher, my children have enjoyed this book.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Franklin And The Tooth Fairy (Paperback)

Well, personally I really enjoyed this book. I liked how it expressed you don't have to be the exact same as everyone else in this world. Even being a little different from someone else changes everything. In the beginning of the story. Franklin and his friend Bear, were eating their lunch and Bear's tooth fell out. Then Franklin says O NO! Bear you lost your tooth, and Bear said I know its normal for me. Then Franklin went home and found a small rock that looked like a tooth. He wrote a letter asking for something. Well it turns out in the morning there was another note saying, I am sorry but you're a turtle, and turtle's don't have teeth. So, when he went to have breakfast his parents gave him a present for being who he was and that he was growing into a nice young turtle
