Title: Franklin Learns About the Hospital, and Bravery
Review: Kids love Franklin the turtle and so if they have to go the hospital, this book will really help.Franklin's shell hurts when he's trying off after having a bath. He learns he'll have to have an operation. He shows his friends a book he got all about the hospital and all his friends think that he's very brave. But he worries that he might not be as brave as everyone thinks.I think it's neat that this book teaches on two fronts --- both technical stuff about the hospital and also about courage and feelings.Note that while this book has the names Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark on the cover, an examination of the title page reveals that it is actually written by Sharon Jennings (who has also done many of the TV storybooks) with illustrations by Shelley Southern. It's still a neat book though.
