- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I like the way he trusted his parents to help and they were not condemning but supportive and empowering. lots to look at in the illustrations. Good one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked this book for many reasons. First, the book introduces many different animals in both the text and the illustrations. These animals include hawks, beavers, toads, turtles, flies, mice, fish, snails, dragonflies, and salamanders. Second, the book featured descriptive yet clear language. The book had vivid descriptions of the different animals such as "he soared over the woods and past the berry patch without ruffling a feather." I also liked how the book pushes the reader to think about how they might handle a situation in which they accidentally tell a lie. Franklin decided to recognize his mistake and come clean to his friends (who forgave him immediately). I think that this is helpful lesson for all children. I liked how the main character, Franklin, was very well-developed and his parents were included in his decision-making process of how to handle the lie that he told.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely great book! Franklin's stories always tell good lessons. This book is about fibbing, and why it isn't a good idea to fib. It is a great book for children, and I would read it to them in hope of keeping them from fibbing. Franklin fibs to his friends and doesn't know what to do. It is a good thing he has great friends. Great story!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This story is about a little turtle that tells a fib to impress his friends. His friends then become upset with him because when asked to perform his fib, Franklin can not. His mother and father explain to Franklin how a fib is not necessary to impress your friends and they help improvise his fib and make it the truth. Franklin returns to his friend and impresses them with the truth. I really enjoyed this book right along with my first graders. It is a rule of thumb to always be honest with your friends so they will never doubt you. The storyline is excellent for children because they always feel the need to do bigger and better than their friends. This allows them to see that if Franklin does not have to tell fibs that neither do they because each of them have great qualities that will impress their friends. 1.Give each child 5 paper strips and have them write 5 things they can do that will impress their friends. 2.Have each child draw a picture of something impressive they can do and create a classroom book “NO FIBS”!
