Franklin the turtle is invited to a Migration Eve party by his friend Goose, but his excitement turns to trepidation when he thinks about having to meet new people, eat strange food, and learn the migration dance.
Wishing he could do the things the big kids do, Franklin befriends Jack Rabbit, who gives him a taste of the hard work and responsibility that comes with having a "big kid" job.
Franklin and his friends look everywhere for the book Dynaroo and the monster, but they cannot find it until Franklin's grandmother gives him a copy as a present.
