Description

Franklin wants to enter a contest. Trouble is, he has to find something he can do for five hours without stopping! Bear, Rabbit and Beaver have no trouble finding activities to occupy them, but Franklin's at a loss. He tries jumping up and down, standing on his head and eating fly soup, but can't keep going long enough. Finally, Franklin thinks for five hours. And he wins the contest!

This Level 2 first reader contains longer stories, varied sentences, increased vocabulary, more difficult visual clues and some repetition.
