As a child this was one of my favorite shows. Now fast forward to being am aunt and being able to share my love from childhood into something new for my nieces and nephews. I am thankful that a show so timeless could be turned into a book for many generations to come to enjoy.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. Franklin is such an iconic, classic childhood staple for books. I was excited to try this one out because I now have some young budding readers in my life that I can share these cute, family-oriented and educational/heartwarming books with. I loved this story, and in particular, I think the images/art is the shining highlight. Franklin is very cute and I love the family.

Franklin is a likable, relatable character for young children. His dilemmas are familiar and may help the child navigate their thoughts and emotions as they encounter tough or new situations. My 6 year old really enjoyed listening to these stories as a read aloud. Recommend for ages 4 to 6.

STORYTIME WITH FRANKLIN is a special collection of 6 stories from the FRANKLIN THE TURTLE series. My children are all grown-up and I’m no longer teaching, but I was drawn to this book because of the fond memories I have when I think back to reading Franklin to my children and many of my classes of second graders. The TV Show that followed was also a favorite in our house.
Some books that I read in the 80s and 90s can be described as dated when read today, but not these classic Franklin storybooks.The stories are timeless and very relatable to children today.
An example of this can be found in the very first Franklin book, which is in this special collection, FRANKLIN IN THE DARK. This story deals with Franklin being afraid of the dark and as Franklin goes looking for help from others, he learns that everyone is afraid of something and how they helped themselves deal with the fear.
Each of the 6 stories will be enjoyed for years to come by young children and the adults in their lives.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the opportunity to read these stories again. They definitely are classics!

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.

Picking Storytime with Franklin to review was much more for me than the authors. Franklin was the first English book I took out of the library and I read about his adventures in French a few years before that.

Reading these stories brought me back and brought me joy. I read Franklin Says I Love You to my Godson over Messenger and she loved it too.

I have always been a big fan of Franklin and my daughter has just started getting into him. This was a very cute book and highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed Franklin as a kid or who now has kids that like Franklin.

I got this on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!

I loved Franklin as a kid, and this brought the nostalgia back for me HARD. I love the morals and lessons we learn in each book, seeing Franklin overcome challenges in his life, and the fast but slow pace of the stories!

Will definitely recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for an advanced read copy of this book!

Franklin the turtle has been a beloved children's book series for many years! With this new storybook collection of some of the best Franklin tales, you can enjoy several of his adventures all in one book! This book would make a sweet gift for a young reader and an excellent addition to a home or school library.

I love Franklin. I remember a show when I was younger with his stories and it was probably my favorite. My kids enjoyed reading all of these stories. Franklin is such a cute turtle who experiences real life struggles or life events. I love the lessons that kids can learn. Franklin the turtle is going to forever be my favorite and a book I will suggest to everyone!

I was drawn toward the Franklin stories because I remember what fun was had while reading them with my children. Now my grandchildren are enjoying his adventures too! This collection of six stories brought smiles to all our faces! The problems presented are relatable. He has such a wonderful group of family and friends to help him find his way in the world. The story of Moose as Franklin’s new friend is my favorite.

The watercolor artwork is absolutely stunning. The bright colors just pop off the pages. New details are noticed each time we go through the pages.

I would recommend this book for use as a picture book for the very small, a read aloud for family time and also for those just beginning to read. This collection is great for all ages.

I received a complementary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

Our family are huge fans of Franklin and have been for many, many years. As a mom I love the values and lessons that the stories create for our little ones. Franklin makes them easier to understand and relate to their little lives. This special edition collection was an ebook ARC for us but we will definitely be adding it to our collection at home. With 6 wonderful stories all in one this book is perfect for cuddles and reading, especially at bedtime. It can make a great addition to the bedtime routine. Colorful illustrations create a warm and calm feeling for us. Our favorite stories were Franklin’s New Friend and Franklin Says I Love You. Your family will adore this collection as much as we did. Perfect gift for little families to encourage reading together.

The NOSTALGIA! I grew up watching Franklin on TV and reading Franklin books. Going through this book was like time traveling back to my childhood days again. It sparked the memories of reading these stories, I remember having these books at home and my parents reading them to me, and then I learned how to read them too. I recognized “Franklin’s New Friend” with the Moose character and “Franklin Rides a Bike”.

The illustrations are beautiful and so pleasing to the eye, especially for kids. It is full of colour and detail in every page. The stories share great tales that have valuable lessons for children to learn and pick up on for themselves.

I love the Franklin characters and the books, they are timeless. I am turning 28 this year, I have read them as a child and I have plans to read them to my baby girl.

I like how they have created a book that has several of Franklin stories within, so you can give your child the option to pick a story to read.

I highly recommend this book! It would be a great gift to give to a child, to a baby shower. It would be a great addition at the library.

As I’ve said, in looking at these pages I remembered reading these exact stories back when I was a child. It provided a big enough impression on me as a child for me to remember Franklin and his stories now as an adult. I can’t wait to share my love for these stories and characters with my baby!

Thank you Kids Can Press and Netgalley for an ARC!

I absolutely loved this collection of Franklin stories. I remember loving Franklin as a child and now I have been able to share my love for this turtle with my son who now loves the stories just as much. Out of this collection my son loves to read "Franklin Says I Love You" and "Franklin In The Dark" over and over again.

The stories are so engaging and the illustrations are beautiful and really keeps my son entertained. Every time we read the stories he has to take in the photos so see what is going on or what is silly in them.

I would rate this 10/5 if I could and I suggest this book to anyone who has young children or for anyone gifting to someone with young children. Definitely a must have.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback/review.

The Franklin stories are such a staple of my childhood, and I'm exited to see it published in this collection for new little readers. The illustrations are beautiful and detailed as always and the stories contain a variety of lessons for readers. I think what makes Franklin so special is the ability for little readers to see themselves in Franklin, what he experiences and how he deals with his emotions. These stories are wholesome and endearing, and will remain classics.

I am so delighted to see that this collection of Franklin stories will be coming out in the spring. I have fond memories of reading Franklin stories to my children.

Franklin in the Dark, the first story, was always a favorite in our house. Here, there is that story plus others about every day life. Franklin goes to school, he makes friends, rides a bike, goes to the hospital and say I Love You in these pages.

The stories themselves are engaging and address the kinds of fears that kids may have. The illustrations add to the pleasure for the child who is hearing the stories.

Highly recommended!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

Growing up, I always adored Franklin books and was thrilled to share this fun loving character with my children. This collection of stories contains a few of my favourite stories and I look forward to family story time with this book!

We are big Franklin fans in our house and this one did not disappoint! My kids (ages 10, 8, 5, and 3) all adored the stories in this book. The stories have great messages and my kids loved that there were six stories in one book too.

We definitely recommend!

We got the book for free through NetGalley.

I loved reading stories I grew up with to my four year old and getting to bond over characters that can be dear to both of us.

This treasury features six classic stories about Franklin the turtle. I loved Franklin when I was a child, and I really enjoyed revisiting these stories. They are just as good as I remembered. Each story teaches an important lesson in a gentle, encouraging way, and the characters are very lovable. The dilemmas that Franklin faces are relatable for the target audience, and these books model healthy ways for kids to deal with different personal challenges and friendship struggles.

The illustrations are marvelous, with double-page spreads full of color and light. The nature illustrations are gorgeous, and there are lots of relatable elements and cute world-building details in each animal's home. There are lots of small details in the illustrations that kids and adults can pick up on during repeat readings, and the books have such a warm, cozy feeling.

I highly recommend this treasury for families, classrooms, and libraries. Parents who grew up with these books will enjoy sharing them with their kids, and this newly issued book will also introduce Franklin to people who have never met him before. This book brings attention back to a great series, and offers a cost-effective way for people to add multiple Franklin stories to their library.

This is a great small collection of Franklin books. I used to love Franklin as a child so I know young children will love and appreciate this book!
