Franklin says I love you by Paulette Bourgeois –ADVISABLE


Bourgeois, Paulette and Illustrated by Clark, Brenda Franklin says I love you 32 pgs. Kids Can Press; 2 edition, 2011. $5.36.  Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
Franklin wants nothing more than to find the perfect gift to give his mother for her birthday. He goes around asking for advice, but nothing is quite right. Finally he decides to follow everyone’s advice, at the last minute adding a surprise of his own –which turns out to be just what she wanted.
This republished classic edition is just wonderful. The story is longer than it looks and features a host of adorable animals. The message of the gift of love is simple and universal. The illustrations are bright and timeless.
