Franklin's class trip
Franklin can't wait to go on his class trip to the museum. But his excitement turns to anxiety when Beaver tells him that they'll see real dinosaurs. At first Franklin is worried, yet he has so much fun seeing and doing other things in the museum that he almost forgets about the dinosaurs--until he comes face to face with a tyrannosaurus.
