Franklin has been a popular book character for young children for decades now, and has also branched out into his own TV cartoon show.  This book is a compilation of eight episodes of the TV series titled Franklin and Friends.  Each story is about Franklin and his friends at school, playing, making discoveries, investigating, and so on.  Each story is wholesome and interests children.  The illustrations are vivid and almost seem to leap off the page.  The cover is a hologram which gives Franklin a little movement.  This is a well made book with strong binding and would be perfect for all elementary school  libraries as well as public libraries.
