Franklin's Halloween

We are big fans of Franklin in our house. My two year old son seems to enjoy all the Franklin books we have tried so far. I like that Franklin's Halloween has a little bit of a suspense to it but it also reveals that the ghost wasn't really a ghost. I also like that the friends decide to share their treats at the end of the night with Bear who was sick and could not make the party. This was not available in paperback but I like the hardback version better and may switch to those if they are available.

This is a great Halloween story for the Kindergarten set! It's just scary enough - but not too scary. My son loved it. I actually think it's a very good story and the illustrations, as usual, are great. This would make a good gift, too.

Franklin and his friends are into Halloween in this story. As one reviewer so well put it, this story is a good reminder just how much fun Halloween was when we were kids (in my case, that was near sixty years ago and the times were much simpler). Again, as with all the Franklin books, we have messages, good messages, stuck here and there throughout the story. Like the other Franklin books, the illustrations in this one are of the same excellent quality. The more you look a them, the more you find which allows a lot of fun, in particular with the younger kids. I love this series and do recommend this one like all the rest.

My sons wants to be Franklistein for Halloween. In the book all of Franklin friends'costumes are a secret, but Bear's. They think Bear is the ghost, but it's Mr. Owl. They find out that Bear is home sick and take some of their candy to them. It teaches sharing and caring for others.

Franklin's Halloween is a pleasant story that shows the value of being a good friend .
