North American Wood Turtle

Our kindergarten thinks that Franklin must be a North American Wood Turtle. First of all, it is found in areas of Ontario, and that is where both Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark live. Secondly, the North American Wood Turtle lives near the woods and water ponds, just like Franklin and his friends.
