Stinky Street

How can we tell that Franklin's mum is happy when Mrs. Cox suggests a solution to the house problems?

• She dances around with underpants on her head

• She throws a fish in the air

• She says, 'I feel happy.'

How does a fish help Franklin to put Mr. Bragg off buying the house?

Why is Mr. Bragg the only one who isn't happy at the end of the story?

Do you like your estate as much as Franklin liked his street?

What do you like/not like about your estate?

Do you have friends living around you like Franklin and his best friend Josh? What do you do when you spend time with them?

If you don't have friends in your neighbourhood, would you want such friends and why?
