- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I think this book is great because all children can relate to it and remember their own first day of school. Many children are also familiar with the character of Franklin and the other stories about him. This could be a good book to read on the first day of school especially because many students are probably nervous just like Franklin was.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Franklin Goes to SchoolI like “Franklin Goes to School” by Paulette Bourgeois for two main reasons. First, young readers can relate to the tough issue of going to school. “Franklin was not hungry. “I already have a full tummy,” he said. “It feels like it is full of jumping frogs.” As Franklin continues his day and he “had forgotten about his jumpy tummy” the reader can feel a sense of relief on their own concern about going to school. The plot is well organized from waking up to finishing the first day at school. The second reason I like this book is the familiarity the reader will have with the illustrations. “Franklin” books all are recognizable by Franklin in his red baseball cap and the similar colors used in the Franklin series. Additionally, each book starts with the same opening line, “Franklin could county by twos and tie his shoes”. Once young readers become familiar with this opening sentence, they are able to participate in reading the first line. The big idea is a child’s anxiety of the first day of school.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed the book “Franklin Goes to School”. The first reason that I enjoyed it so much is because I used to watch the “Franklin” cartoon when I was little, and I loved it! Picture book versions of TV shows are often a really good way to capture the attention of students. In addition, the characters in the book are all animals which makes the book a little more fun and light-hearted. Children would definitely enjoy the pictures of Beaver, Bear, Rabbit, and all of Franklins other friends wearing hats, carrying backpacks, and sitting in desks just like normal children. The illustrations are very bright, fun, and realistic, besides the fact that they depict animals, not humans. Lastly, the plot line of the story is extremely relatable and helps to ease apprehension that every child is bound to have for the first day of school. Franklin makes friends, has a nice teacher, and ends up having a great first day of school. The main idea of the book is that everyone gets nervous on their first day of school, but it is really nothing to be scared about.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was about a turtle name Franklin going to school for the first time. It explains his feeling from when you first gets out of bed, to getting on the bus, when he is in school, and when he returns home. It focus on the all the different emotions he feel on his first day of school. I enjoyed reading this book to a 4-5 year old class right before there first day of school. And I think everyone of those kids where excited about the book because either they experience those same feeling Franklin had on the first day of school or they have them now. But it helped the kids understand that everyone experiences those feelings and that they are not alone. As a extra activity I had some of the older kids tell us how there first day of school was last year if they remember. A kind of show and tell activity. To help some of the new kids understand that there was nothing to be afraid of. Then I ask the four year olds if they had any fears about going to school for the first time. And we all sat down and discuss how we can help them threw there fears.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Franklin is very worried about his first day of school- he's especially nervous that the other children know things he doesn't and should. When he gets there his teacher reassures him that he knows thigns and that he'll have help learning what he doesn't know. Franklin then has a wonderful kindergarten/pre-school kind of day, and goes home to his parents happy.
