A birthday trip with plenty of detours

Franklin is on his way to Bear’s birthday party, but getting there takes more than simply following the route. Along the way, play with Rabbit, Otter and Fox competes with the need to arrive on time. The familiar setup turns an ordinary journey into a story about the pull of play and the challenge of remembering an important commitment. As a Franklin Classic Storybook, it centers on a young turtle’s everyday dilemma, with animal friends woven into the trip.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8, the stated audience for this edition.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about animal characters and everyday childhood situations.
  • Adults choosing a picture-book story about play, friends and getting somewhere on time.

Book overview

In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin sets off to Bear's house for a birthday party, but it's far from a straightforward journey. Like most preschoolers, Franklin is a dawdler, slow even for a turtle. The trip becomes an opportunity to play leapfrog with Rabbit, slip and slide in the mud with Otter, and maybe even play hide-and-seek with Fox. But just in time, Franklin remembers that he mustn't be late for Bear's special day.
