Frank

Description

Try as he might (or might not), Frank is a bear who is always late. And when he starts school, the trouble really begins. Frank has very good reasons, like the time he had to save a cat stuck in a tree and the morning he found himself challenged to a charity dance-off, and even the time he had to rescue a family of bunnies from a huge, smelly ogre. Frank's teacher has heard enough of Frank's excuses, but what happens when a giant zombie lizard king really does attack the school? Sometimes there is truth to the most unusual of circumstances, and being helpful can pay off in the most unexpected ways.

Reviews

"The impish illustrations have great quirky appeal ..." --Kirkus Reviews "This extremely funny, attractive story has its own unique punch and charm, appealing strongly to children." --Children's Bookwatch

The illustrations of this book are whimsical and fun. They are really what moves this text to the next level, although Frank himself is just such an eccentric character also. I do love the theme of helping that shines throughout the book. This is an important theme to discuss with kids, and this book doesn’t make it boring while discussing it. A very fun story that will leave classrooms of students in giggles :) - Manda, The Book Grocer
