Franklin learns about the meaning of friendship in these four classic stories, now available in one Franklin Treasury. Franklin Has a Sleepover, Franklin's Bad Day, Franklin's New Friend and Franklin's Secret Club are gentle stories that have helped make the lovable turtle one of the world's best-known and most endearing children's book characters.

When Emily goes to visit, she finds Oma sitting in a chair in the corner of her new room. Nothing makes Oma happy. At home, Emily and her mother begin to sort through Oma's boxes. Inside they discover many treasures -- Emily's baby blanket, olden-day dresses, a faded quilt made from Opa's worn-out shirts ... And then, suddenly, Emily has an idea for a special way to make Oma feel at home -- no matter where she may be?
