In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin sets off to Bear"s house for a birthday party, but it"s far from a straightforward journey. Like most preschoolers, Franklin is a dawdler, slow even for a turtle. The trip becomes an opportunity to play leapfrog with Rabbit, slip and slide in the mud with Otter, and maybe even play hide-and-seek with Fox. But just in time, Franklin remembers that he mustn"t be late for Bear"s special day.
