This review is from: Franklin Tv #05: Franklin's Helps Out (Paperback)

Good book. It shows that helping is nice and kind, but sometimes overhelping isn't. Like when Franklin was doing everything for Snail because he thought Snail couldnt do it. That hurt Snails feelings. Often people do that with those with disabilities or elderly people because they think they cannot do anything by themselves...so they are babied.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lesson about being too helpful, October 20, 2001

This review is from: Franklin Tv #05: Franklin's Helps Out (Paperback)

In this story Franklin helps out his friend snail. Franklin assumes snail wants his help and leaves snail feeling helpless, dependent and frustrated. A excellent story illustrating how helpful intentions may not be wanted and how the person on the receiving end feels about it.
