This review is from: Franklin's Music Lessons (Kids Can Read) (Hardcover)

As a music teacher, and a parent of a child taking piano lessons, I picked out this book from the library hoping it would be a cute inspiring story. This is an AWFUL book. The kids hate math, Franklin hates to practice, he sulks because he can't play Row, Row, Row You Boat after one lesson, and practices baseball instead. In the end, he gives up on piano, but is commended for having a strong baseball arm and ringing a bell loudly. I am very glad I didn't waste my money on this book. Who writes this crap??
