Good morning, everyone!
I know it has been a while since I have shared on the blog. Things have been crazy at Mr. Ricky's house. Madeline and Elijah (Mr. Ricky's kids) are always running around and playing. As you know, I love the kiddos. I love when they press their face up against the glass and wave at me. I miss all of you, but it is nice to be around Madeline and Elijah. Mr. Ricky has been playing the guitar for me. I enjoy his music, but I am still waiting for him to sing a song about a turtle.
I have to tell you what I did on Easter! Madeline kept saying something about an Easter Bunny. As you may know, many years ago I raced against a rabbit and won. I guessed this was round two, but instead of a race, the rabbit left eggs and candy. He didn't want to lose to a turtle twice.
I hope you are all having a wonderful time at home and reading many, many books! See you soon!
Love,
Franklin the Library Turtle

Good evening, everyone!
I read a good book today. Don’t worry! It was a waterproof copy so I could read it under water. It was about germs. It was called Germs Are Not For Sharing by Elizabeth Verdick. I didn’t know what germs were before I read this book. Apparently, germs are these tiny little creatures that can make you sick. People spread them around without even knowing it. You can prevent the spread of germs by washing your hands. I tried doing that today. You should have seen all the bubbles in my tank! It took Mr. Ricky over an hour to clean up my mess.
Another way to prevent spreading germs is to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Reading and learning is fun. I hope you are reading a lot of good books, and I can’t wait to see you again when the library is open again. Have a wonderful night!

Good evening, everyone!
This is Franklin the Library Turtle. I heard we were supposed to stay at home, so Mr. Ricky loaded me up and carried me to his house. Let me tell you something. Riding in a truck was awesome! Y’all are lucky to be able to get in a machine to carry you from place to place. I have to swim.
Mr. Ricky’s house is very nice. I am in the living room. He has a TV! I can watch my favorite shows on National Geographic. I even have two red-headed kids that come by my tank and wave at me.
I thought I might be scared. Sometimes life gets scary, but it seems to make everything okay when you are surrounded by the people you love. I will update you later!
