Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
An intuitive understanding of the things children love to know, combined with the d'Aulaire's extraordinary artistic ability make this book on the life of one of America's most beloved founders a perennial classic. Folk art style illustrations are enhanced with pert aphorisms from Poor Richard's Almanac on each page. Readers will learn that Benjamin was the youngest of seventeen children 'all counted' and that 'it was a piece of luck that his kite experiment had not killed him.' They will also come to know the inventor whose thirst for knowledge led him to constantly seek to improve the lives of his fellow men. Readers will follow his life as a leader in the American Revolution and ambassador to both Britain and France and learn why the French hailed him as the man who 'tore the lightening from the sky and the scepter from tyrants.'

I've been through this book with two of my children now, and I love the D'Aulaire biographies. What a wonderful way to learn about important people in history! The kids love them too--and everyone has liked Benjamin Franklin in particular. He was such a brilliant man--a true Renaissance man! This book has been a fun and educational part of our homeschool. The kids also like the wise sayings from Poor Richard's Almanac that grace every page. They're inevitably surprised that they know some of them, and now they know the source. It's a good way to teach them how pervasive Franklin's influence continues to be.

I think this biography on Benjaman Franklin was very informative,interesting,and more exciting than the usual historical book. It was easy to read and had some of his famous quotes written on the bottom of the pages. I would recomend this book for kids who are interested in learning more about Ben Franklin or who need more information about him for a school project.

I am surprised to see that I'm doing the very first review on this book! I checked this book out from the library to read to my children, and it is one of the most memorable biographies we have read together. This beautiful book is the story of Benjamin Franklin's interesting and inspiring life, with many full page illustrations. It includes many of his sayings throughout the book. I can't wait to own it!
