Editorial Reviews

A Dale
“I just read this book to my daughter and I don’t know who loved it more. My husband came in and asked what we were talking about. I had him sit it on the second read, and he was in hysterics. What a wonderful job! There are few books in this house that all 3 of us enjoy. This is a fun book and I can’t wait to read the next one! I won’t spoil the surprise.”
Juanita Moyock
“Meet Franklin Bean covers a host of current issues including bullying, single parenting, job loss and safety. I bought it for my granddaughter and her friend so they could read and share the journey of knowing a book together. My granddaughter loved it as much as I knew she would. This is a book about real hard problems in life and tossed in the mix is Franklin Bean who adds a dimension of what we HOPE would happen and you can’t help but feel good when you finish.”

"I got it yesterday and we read it with my 8 and 10 year old grandkids. You did a fantastic job. It held their interest the whole story. they wanted to know, WHAT IS NEXT! For ADHD kids that is something.(ps They are guessing about why Franklin Bean disappears and what you know who are up to??) Caused quite a conversation here. Only great stories are talked about and you have one here. Your story is unique and well played. Can not wait for the next installment. Great Job!!!!!!!!!!"

“Heartwarming read! Delightful children’s book showing that change can be positive and heros come in all shapes and sizes.”

Franklin Bean is Outstanding
I am not a dog lover, in life or literature, but I fell in love with Franklin Bean. The story has imagination galore and the illustrations are colorful as well as appropriate with the written word on the page. Franklin Bean gives the reader lessons on life and how anyone reading this book, whether young or old, can learn something new. This book is appropriate from Kindergarten-4th grade....but it wouldn't hurt middle schoolers to read this so they treat others

    Best summer read.

    This could be one of those books we have to read every night this summer. My kids love the story and feel so much joy. They want me to read it every night. This could be one of those books you read over and over. I especially like the messages they get from the story. I think my children feel like they have found a new friend.
    We will look forward to more of Franklin Bean.
    Also find the cover and art work very attractive.

    Comment spoken to grandmother to type: "I loved your book. It was awesome! I liked the dog (giggle giggle). The dog is nice. The ending was good too. The best part of the book was when the dog saved the girl. I think that the boy may have been dreaming or had an active imagination because dogs don't talk where I live, but it would be really fun if they did. Yeah! I would like to go to school and take my talking dog and nobody else would have one, that would be nice."

    Adorable dog and mystery, too!

    I'm a sucker for any book about animals, but sometimes they can be a bit sappy. This one is charmingly sweet, but intriguing, too. Emmy Swain managed to pack in a whole lot into an entertaining children's story. The illustrations are wonderful. That dog Franklin Bean is clearly up to something, and a lot of kids will be demanding "Where's the next Franklin Bean book?" at the end of this one.

I read this book and sent it on to my grandchildren hoping they learn how to treat others and each other. I highly recommend this book to parents, children, and teachers.

    A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER LOVED A CHILD OR A DOG!

    This is a wonderful story that illustrates the challenges that many families are facing as a result of our nations tough economic times. Franklin Bean is a very clever and loving little dog who shows everyone that anything is possible. The little "bean" will warm your heart with his love and kindness. Everytime my son sees a Boston Terrier now, he thinks its Franklin Bean and he scream "beaner weiner"!

    Kids Need Friends and Heroes

    "Meet Franklin Bean" is a children's fantasy chapter book by Emmy

    Swain, illustrated by Levi Whitworth. I reviewed this book for the

    author and she provided me with a pdf copy without compensation

    and asked for an honest review. I am a mother of three, former

    teacher, and children's book author.

    Franklin Bean deals with real, important issues that affect children

    and their families, everything from unemployment, moving to a new

    town, bullies and how a child feels about all these pressures.

    John, a ten-year-old boy, meets Franklin Bean just when he needs a

    friend the most. Who Franklin is and how he changes John's life is

    part magic, part good advice and part timeless friendships and all

    they mean to us.

    Levi Whitworth's illustrations are colorful, simple enough to appeal to

    even very young children, but also, to me, some of them even

    showed of John's loneliness and confusion by the use of muted,

    sometimes almost non-existent backgrounds.

    I especially like the way adults are treated in this book. They are

    respected and an important part of the story, unlike many books I

    have recently read. I also like John's polite, respectful character, and

    how he wants to help meet his family's needs.

    Pancho Frijole was a surprise, to put it mildly, but children need

    heroes, especially when they feel lonely and times are tough. I look

    forward to seeing how the series develops and how John learns

    more about Franklin Bean and Pancho Frijole, and I'll bet Emmy

    Swain's readers will, too. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

    Kids Will Love it and So Will You!

    This is a delightful early reader for either a boy or girl. The author introduces a new twist on the talking animal theme by giving the main character, Franklin Bean, super hero powers. With Franklin Bean, his boy ,John, is able to overcome the difficulty of moving to a new house, new neighborhood and new school and teach others about good and responsible social behavior.

    A nice first chapter book. Recommend for parents, teachers, elementary school librarians and all kids.
