Review:
Franklin is a loveable turtle with a caring group of friends. Each book deals with a different childhood issue ranging from telling lies, playing fair to going to school and riding a bike.
In this story Franklin is afraid of thunderstorms and his friends try different ways to get him out of his shell (literally), which eventually does when one of them explains what thunder and lightning actually is. I bought this book for my son who is also afraid of thunderstorms and he really enjoys hearing the story.
The illustrations are beautiful and the stories are easy to understand. I like the fact that each book has a moral and are a natural way to discuss these with children.
3.5/5
