Franklin the turtle gets nervous about touring the museum after Beaver tells him there are "real dinosaurs" inside. When he arrives at the exhibit, Franklin is surprised to discover only bones on display--not live dinosaurs. Readers may be more dinosaur-savvy than Franklin, but they can still enjoy his relief. The bland, amiable illustrations show a group of backpack-toting animal children.
