what it is.
The show.
Based on Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark's books, this animated series follows Franklin the turtle and his animal friends as they navigate school, friendships, and growing up in the town of Woodland. Aimed at ages 3–6.
our take
“Franklin tackles real social situations — jealousy, fear of failure, making amends — and the woodland setting is appealing. It scores in the D range because the pacing includes more scene transitions than our top-rated shows, and Franklin's behavior before learning each lesson sometimes models the negative behavior more prominently than the resolution. Language quality is moderate.”
