About This Book

These stories about Franklin, everyone's favorite turtle, offer gentle, entertaining ways of addressing common childhood dilemmas.

When his friends boast about all the things they can do — Bear can climb trees, Hawk can soar over the fields, Beaver can make dams — Franklin says he can swallow seventy-six flies in the blink of an eye. When his friends ask him to prove it, Franklin learns that it's always better to tell the truth.
