This is a story of sweet ghosts who have a happy and gentle purpose in houses; and of one ghost in particular who is temporarily...

Even as an adult I can understand the appeal of this book, and I imagine it was no hardship for my parents to read it over and over and over and, well,...

This is one of the 'original' Franklin the turtle book' starts out with the rhyme... Franklin can tie his shoes and count to twos' or something similar to this...

I'll admit that the song is cute, though. I'm not in love with the illustrative...
