Franklin Wants a Pet, Franklin's Blanket, and Franklin's School Play

Franklin can count forwards and backwards. He can zip zippers and button buttons. He can slide down a riverbank by himself. He can even sleep alone in his small, dark shell. And ever since he was small, he really wanted a pet.

Franklin can’t go to sleep without his favorite blue blanket. One night he can’t find his tattered old blanket and must try to get along without it.
