Bookroo's summary
Franklin is terrified of thunderstorms, and when lightning strikes during a playdate at Fox's house, he retreats into his shell. His friends try to coax him out with humorous stories about storms, but it's Beaver's explanation of thunder and lightning that finally eases Franklin's fears. Will Franklin find the courage to face the storm and emerge from his shell? Discover how friendship and understanding can conquer fear in this heartwarming tale.
From the publisher
In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin is afraid of thunderstorms. When a storm approaches while he is playing at Fox’s house, a flash of lightning sends Franklin into his shell. He refuses to come out — even for snacks — until his friends make him laugh with their tall tales about what causes storms. And when Beaver explains what really causes thunder and lightning, Franklin begins to feel much safer.
