From the publisher

In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin’s mother tells him never to go into the woods. But one day Franklin is playing hide-and-seek with his friends and forgets what his mother has told him. Franklin is frightened when he realizes he’s lost, but he knows just what to do — stay in his shell and wait to be found. A dramatic story with a happy ending.
