franklin - consistent interesting reading ("to" not "by") by 4 year old
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Just the right amount of everything for my 4 year olds reading collection. Familiar characters and "unpredicatable" plots. Clever and cute story lines that my very socially and intellectually (spell?) bright kid loves. Nice colorful pictures (yeah I wrote it, colorful). I think we own at least 8 of these and will get more.
Franklin is bossy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
(Wriiten by Jhanvi my 6 year old daughter) Franklin is a turtle and really interesting boy. One day, Franklin and his friend Bear had a big fight. Because Franklin was too bossy. He always wants to play the games that he wants to play and not the games his wants to play. The book is about how they became friends again. I liked the book very much. I learnt that I should take turns.
A great book for little bossy 4-yr olds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I've been trying to figure out how to teach my son that being bossy isn't a great way to make friends and keep them. I know that I can only preach so much and that over time he'll learn the hard way. Luckily, I found this book! It was great. It showed how Franklin was always bossing his friends around and only wanted to play "his way." Well, that didn't get him very far with his friends. Now when my son is bossing me around I'll remind him about Franklin. It makes him stop and think for a moment. What a great learning tool. This was great. I'm now going to get more Franklin books. Thanks!
