The hero of Franklin in the Dark returns, this time with a new predicament. Franklin is so slow (even for a turtle). Someone is always telling him to hurry up. He means to be on time, but there's just so much to see and do along the way. Full color throughout.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreS --A Disneyesque turtle, rabbit, fox, and otter illustrate this trite story of a turtle who is always late, and who is distracted by his friends while on the way to the home of his friend Bear. The language is unimaginative, the story thin, and the ending predictable--Franklin is on his way to a birthday party for Bear. Woodland yellows and greens predominate, and the background settings are far more pleasing than the animals in the foreground, all of whom lack character or personality. A slow moving tale, distinguished neither by plot nor illustration. --Trev Jones, School Library Journal

Hurry Up Franklin,
By Lori Iaquinta (Clarksburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hurry Up, Franklin (Paperback)
Besides having wonderful illustrations, Hurry Up Franklin, wonderfully illustrates a great lesson for children and adults. I am a special education teacher and I use this book to teach children not to procrastinate. Hurry Up Franklin, teaches them to do what they are supposed to do and not stop and play along the way and it comes from one of the most trusted characters in books today...Franklin.

Franklin too slow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hurry Up, Franklin (Paperback)
This is a good book for kids. I'm always telling my son to hurry up. Franklin is trying to get to a birthday party, but on the way he meets his friends which delays him. He found some nice things on the way though. He does make it on time to wish Bear a happy birthday.

Paid for New/ got used,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hurry Up, Franklin (Paperback)
It clearly says when ordering this book that the price is new at 2.98. I paid that price from a indie seller and what I received was a " USED" book. I personally am mad at Amazon for billing things as brand new and then getting a book with folded corners and another child's name in it. I know it is only 3.00 but still it is my good hard earned money and I expect better service out of Amazon. I will not bother buying Children's Books from Amazon.com again. What's the point if I wanted used books, I could go to a Thrift store. I want clean brand new books for my daughters, I am taking my business elsewhere to another brand name book site.
