Franklin in the dark  Cover Image Book Book

Franklin in the dark / written by Paulette Bourgeois ; illustrated by Brenda Clark.

Bourgeois, Paulette, (author.). Clark, Brenda, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Poor little Franklin has one of the most common childhood afflictions—he is afraid of the dark. This is particularly distressing for Franklin as he happens to be a turtle, and the darkness he fears is, of course, inside his own shell. Bravely, with shell in town, he sets forth to seek help and in the course of his travels discovers a bird who is afraid of heights, a polar bear who is afraid of the cold, and even a hydrophobic duck. In the end, Franklin discovers that everybody is afraid of something, even his own mother, and his response to what he has learned to guaranteed to draw a smile."-- [Amazon]
