Franklin Goes to the Hospital

32 pp. | Kids Can | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 1-55074-732-0 $$10.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brenda Clark. Franklin the turtle needs an operation, and everyone keeps telling him how brave he is. However, when it's time for x-rays, Franklin worries they'll reveal how frightened he really feels. The pleasant but didactic story delivers a comforting message about courage and provides very basic information about having an operation. Illustrations show unfailingly friendly animals.
