Kindergarten-Grade 2. Franklin the turtle is having a horrible day. He usually loves winter, but today he is grumpy, cranky, and unhappy. Bear and Franklin go out to play together, but nothing they do is fun. They miss their good friend Otter, who has moved away. When the pouting turtle returns home, he is angry and sad until his father suggests that he write or call Otter. Franklin spends the rest of the day making a scrapbook to send to her, full of drawings and a dozen self-addressed envelopes. This is a well-told story about overcoming a difficult situation. In the colorful cartoon illustrations, Franklin's facial expressions help to convey his changing moods and emotions, from frustration and sadness to satisfaction. Fans of Franklin's earlier adventures and children who have had a friend move away will enjoy this book.?Elisabeth Palmer Abarbanel, Los Angeles Public Library

Another lesson by Franklin,
By A Customer
This review is from: Franklin's Bad Day (Paperback)
Franklin, our favorite little turtle, struggles through the day after his good friend Otter moves away. Everything seems to go wrong until he finally has a relieving talk with dad and realizes that he hasn't really lost his buddy, but that their relationship simlpy has to take on a new dimension. This is yet another greatly illustrated, wonderful book in the Franklin series, which helps teach life's lessons and morals to our young ones.

My friend moved away,
By A Customer
This review is from: Franklin's Bad Day (Paperback)
This is a very touching book. It shows emotions of what happens when a close friend moves away. Frankin takes it out on everybody. But in the end his father figures out that it was Otter's moving that upset Franklin. His father told him how they can still stay in contact with each other. Franklin sent Otter a puzzle that he made.

This review is from: Franklin's Bad Day (Paperback)
We are a military family and I think this book really helped my daughter realize that moving away doesn't mean the end of friendships.
