Which Franklin The Turtle Episodes Teach Sharing Lessons?

I still get a little giddy seeing Franklin books on a library shelf — there's something warm about those round, friendly turtle illustrations. Paulette Bourgeois wrote them and Brenda Clark illustrated them, and the very first book that put Franklin on the map is 'Franklin in the Dark'. From there they built dozens of picture books, board books, and early-reader titles that tackle everyday kid problems: making friends, feeling scared, dealing with bossiness, fibbing, trying new things, and so on. Some of the staples you’ll likely find are 'Franklin in the Dark', 'Franklin Goes to School', 'Franklin Rides a Bike', 'Franklin Fibs', and 'Franklin and the Thunderstorm'. There are also themed collections and treasury editions that bundle several short stories — perfect for bedtime. I often recommend starting with 'Franklin in the Dark' if a child is scared of the dark, or 'Franklin Rides a Bike' when they're learning to pedal. Most public libraries have multiple Franklin titles, and bookstores/online retailers carry both single books and box sets. If you want tactile options for toddlers, look for the board-book versions; older kids might enjoy early-reader adaptations or the chapter-style books that continue Franklin’s adventures.
