Meet Franklin and his friends
The tale of the little turtle Franklin appeared on the screens in the late 90s, then it was called "Hi, Franklin!". And it became a huge hit, including in Poland. She returned in 2012 as Franklin and Friends. But there would be no animated series without a series of books that were created in the first place. The author and creator of "Franklin and His World" is Paulette Bourgeois, a Canadian journalist and writer who in 1983 decided to write a fairy tale for children. Brenda Clarke was responsible for the characteristic illustrations that we associate well with the character of Franklin. This is a universal story about the enchanting world of forest animals that live a life similar to that of a human. Every day they experience adventures, during which they have to face new, often difficult, situations. The most important character is the title character Franklin, a little turtle who lives with his parents and surrounds himself with a group of true friends. Among them are a bear, Franklin's most faithful companion, a snail, an otter, a goose, a fox, a skunk, a rabbit, a beaver, a raccoon and a badger.
Fairy tales about things that are important for every little child
Franklin has many fantastic adventures. Some of them are joyful, while others are associated with difficult emotions. The tale in a very accessible form touches on topics that are important from the point of view of every small child. The life of a child, although generally carefree and happy, is also full of difficult choices, dilemmas and extreme emotions. Children are just learning to deal with them, and Franklin's tales can effectively help them. For these reasons, it's worth introducing your child to the adventures of the turtle and its universal stories. Reading them together every day is an opportunity for parents to talk to their children about important topics.
Franklin - a tale of emotions
Jealousy, fear, shame, and anger are just a few examples of complex emotions that children experience from an early age, although they often cannot even name them. This does not change the fact that they are present in the lives of toddlers. The booklet titled "Franklin Rules" explains that it's not always worth having the last word, and you often have to compromise when having fun together. This Franklin has yet to learn, but thankfully he quickly learns that it's not worth wasting time arguing with friends.
Franklin Says I Love You is a story that teaches you how to express your feelings to others. This turtle must learn quickly, as the birthday of his beloved mother is approaching. Unfortunately, she does not know what to give her. Friends try to help him by telling him how he can show his love. A similar lesson can be drawn from the tale of Franklin and Valentine's Day. The protagonist loses the cards prepared for his friends in the snow. Now he must figure out how to show them that they are extremely important to him.
Smart books for children.
"Franklin Goes to the Hospital" is an extremely important story for children facing an inevitable hospital stay. The turtle is very afraid of the time spent away from home, especially since he will have a serious operation. How will he behave in a new situation? How to tame your own child with disturbing thoughts?
Hitherto unknown situations, such as the arrival of a new family member, are difficult for every child. Younger siblings, although often highly anticipated, can make a big difference in the life of a child who has hitherto been the only baby in the house. In Franklin and the Baby, the tortoise is jealous of his best friend Bear, who will soon become his older brother. At the same time, he learns that this new role requires many sacrifices. After a while, he finds out about it himself, when his younger sister Harriet, known as the turtle, is born. But another tale from the series tells about this.
The Incredible Adventures of Franklin
The world presented in the Franklin tales is full of complex situations and emotions. There is also room for many wonderful experiences that Franklin the tortoise and his friends have. A trip to the forest under the cover of night or a school trip is an opportunity to experience amazing adventures. Of course, during them you can learn about what is important, for example, when Franklin is deeply disappointed that he cannot catch fireflies (“Franklin and the Night Trip to the Woods”), or when he is frightened by the mere thought that during a visit museum you can watch creepy dinosaurs (Franklin on tour).
Now you know which fairy tales to reach out for in order to convey valuable values to the child and learn how to talk with him on difficult topics. Franklin can help you with this!
