Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book - Still nostalgic for it
My parents gave me this book when I was 3 or 4. I remember reading it over and over and over again for a very long time. The characters are very cute and very vivid. To this day, 20 years later, I still have my original copy that sits amongst the other classics in my bookshelf. It is even complete with my 4 year old handwriting on the inside cover: "This book belongs to..." written on the inside. I have loved this book for 20 years, hopefully you will too.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
My [...] year old son loves Franklin. And reading this particular book to him was no exception. Book is about overcoming fear. Franklin is afraid of the dark, but everyone is afraid of something - so how do you overcome. Good book, fun reading.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great springboard for discussions with a preschooler
I found this book to be helpful in getting my daughter to realize that everyone is afraid of something and that fear is a natural emotion. This books helps to show how the characters deal with their fears. If your child is very fearful of the dark, I would recommend you read the book before sharing with your child. I had no problems with an increase in fears after reading this book but neither of my children are very fearful of the dark.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - This was a bad book for us
This was our first Franklin book and my son really, really likes Franklin now. I had never heard of him before this book, which was a "gift" from the pediatrician for my son's pre-preschool check-up.

The Franklin books are great.

This one, however, I wish we had skipped.

The thing is, my son was never afraid of the dark. I don't think it ever occurred to him that you *should* be afraid of the dark. But after reading this book, he started to have nightmares. ... Read More:



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Please read Franklin in the Dark
This is the best of all of the Franklin stories, and the first one published. It's a wonderful read aloud story, a great story for children to act out, and an easy way to begin a discussion of "things that scare us". Children are amazed to learn that grownups can be frightened of things too. This book should be in every child's home collection and in every elementary teacher's too!
