Product Description:
Benjamin Franklin was one of the busiest men in the American colonies. He was a printer, a postmaster, an inventor, a writer, and a diplomat. When the Revolutionary War began, Ben supported America in the Continental Congress. Like the clever adages from his Poor Richard’s Almanac, Ben Franklin still sets an example for Americans today.

My ten year old son loves this book. He's amazed and excited about all of Ben Franklin's inventions and ideas; especially the ones that were for the better of the community. I highly recommend this book for a great look back at the history and contributions of Ben Franklin.

although she normally only enjoys fiction! She's giggling with excitement with every chapter and can't stop talking about this book!

Landmark books are always great and this is no exception. Written by an excellent author, this is a good book for young people to learn about Ben Frankliin.

It may not be politically correct by today's standards, but it is good solid history, a worthy book.

If you've been playing Nintendo all night and watching TV all day, the pace of this book is going to seem slow in comparison. But for the serious young reader who wants to learn interesting historical facts, this is a terrific book by a terrific author in a terrific series.
