I received a free ARC from Kids Can Press through NetGalley
4 stars
Franklin's family is cleaning up by donating unwanted items and throwing away the ones that aren't good enough to donate. When he takes his radio, along with the rest of the junk, to Fox's Junkyard, his friend Fox asks if he can try to fix up the radio. The next day, Fox's cool-io new radio is all the talk. Unfortunately, this makes Franklin sad. Fox is such a great friend though, and Franklin gets the radio back. What follows is a lesson in appreciating what you have and being okay with letting things go.
I think kids today will like the illustrations. They are very crisp and clear, computer generated but done well. The story is a good one for small children to hear. It would be good to tell to someone before donating old toys and clothes. It is well done and with characters that kids will recognize.
