Super e-reads
Meet Franklin Bean by Emmy Swain
First of Franklin Bean Storybooks Enchants and Transforms Lives for Kids (and The Adults Who Love Them!)
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA/PRNewswire/ — Get ready for a world of adventure with the beloved Boston Terrier whose magical powers come to life in the first of his superhero series, Meet Franklin Bean.
This new children’s book tells the story of how ten-year-old John transforms his worries over his mom’s lost job, their move to a new town, and making friends with the bullies at school with the influence and inspiration from his new adopted friend, Franklin Bean.
Talking only to children and concealing his secret identity, the young pup fulfills his mission to turn human tears into smiles by performing superhuman feats.
What else is magical, according to first-time author Emmy Swain, is the level of engagement the book is enjoying.
Reviews
Feedback from Barnes&Noble.com http://bit.ly/qqeA12 confirms it’s not just kids who love Franklin Bean. “My grandkids have ADHD and find Meet Franklin Bean riveting. Where he disappears to and what he’s up to next keeps them guessing.”
“We just read this book together … I’m not sure who loves it more—me, my daughter, or husband. Hysterical.”
“This could be one of those books you read over and over.”
Modeled after Swain’s own dog, Franklin Bean’s uncanny abilities come from good stock. Real-life dad Dale made news when he dug up an Indian Spearhead (circa 8,000 B.C.) in her backyard.
“Franklin Bean storybooks are created to be lean forward experiences, encouraging children to actively relate the characters’ situations to their real-world,” Swain says. “Intuitively, the words and illustrations reach into the readers’ imaginations, where real learning takes place. Choice allows them to craft their own story.
“That’s the beauty of Franklin Bean’s magic … new possibilities emerge.”
A portion of book sales goes to Operation Smile. [http://www.operationsmile.org]

My first review in England (Amazon) ★★★★★
5.0 out of 5 stars A spellbounding tale about a magical dog, 7 Oct 2011
By The Kindle Book Review -
This review is from: Meet Franklin Bean (Kindle Edition)
This book is available in paperback and on Kindle. I read and reviewed the Kindle version.
This children's book, by Emmy Swain, is about John, a young boy who has to move to a smaller house in a new, unknown area with his mother, after her loses her job and has to take a lesser paid one. John is scared, and feels isolated and alone. One day, he meets a small dog, who stops him from crossing a busy main road near his house to get to the beach. This dog is very friendly, his name is Franklin Bean...and he can talk. Franklin's human family couldn't look after him any longer, so now Franklin is homeless. John feels an immediate bond with the smart little dog and convinces his mum to give him a home. So now the two friends are together, and set out to explore John's new world....
Franklin does not talk in front of adults, but being a wise dog, he advises and steers John on the right path at all times, helping him to make friends, and teaching him to listen to his mother about his healthy eating and the right thing to do. The talking dog helps John to make some new friends, and they tentatively begin their new life together, with John's mum enrolling him at school....
Meantime a mysterious superhero called Pancho Frijoles, swoops into the small town and saves some fishermen from a ferocious storm, and then a little girl, Brianna, after she wanders off. John and his friends are in awe of this enigma and want to know more, all his little dog says is 'cool frijoles.'
Franklin Bean and Pancho are never seen together, could Franklin Bean BE Pancho?
Or is it Kirby, Franklin's little dog friend?
This is a delightful children's book and it is the first in a series of Franklin Bean books to be self-published by this author. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and the charming illustrations and feel that the characters will appeal to children of a range of ages, with the exciting magical undertones and the issues of change, new life and 'fitting in' being woven into the story. One to look out for in the future....
