Franklin the turtle is learning how he fits in the world and how the world fits him. Like most children, Franklin learns by making mistakes. When he fibs, gets lost, or acts bossy, he usually finds solutions himself, learning lessons the Franklin way. He is a unique character who makes an instant connection with kids.

The half hour animated series "Franklin" is based on the best-selling books by Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark, presented by Nelvana Limited.
