the text in this illustrated book appears to be meant for transitional reading, but the font size is a little small and the leading amongst the text would render this a challenge to really new readers. The text and size and frequency of illustrations move it in that direction, though. The artwork by Clark is wonderful. Franklin is a turtle who is instructed to be home from playing by supper time. He accidently wanders into the woods--where he has been instructed not to go--and gets lost, though. Mom & Dad eventually track him down, and he promises not to do it again--even accidentally.
Merit: Short and easily followed storyline. Illustrations that caused be to stare at them longer than I intended.
Share: Read-to or read-alone for intermediate transitional.
Appeal: Simple story and wonderful illustrations.
