Bookroo's summary

Franklin enjoys being a big brother, but when his sister Harriet wants his favorite toy, he refuses to share. A tug-of-war ensues, and the toy rips. Though repaired, Franklin hides it, still upset. He soon realizes Harriet's happiness comes from him, not the toy. Can Franklin embrace the joy of sharing and bring a smile to his sister's face?

From the publisher

In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin likes being a big brother … most of the time. But when his little sister, Harriet, wants to play with his favorite stuffed animal, Franklin doesn’t want to share. As they tug at the toy, something terrible happens. It rips! Franklin’s mother fixes it, but he remains angry and hides the toy in his closet. Then Franklin discovers it’s not the toy that makes Harriet happy — it’s her big brother who brings a smile to her face. Franklin decides that maybe sharing isn’t so bad after all.
