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.

 

Readers will learn that Benjamin Franklin was the youngest of seventeen children “all counted.” Also that it was, “it was a piece of luck that his kite experiment had not killed him.” They will eventually 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. They will follow him as the ambassador to both Britain and France. They will also learn why the French hailed him as the man who “tore the lightening from the sky and the scepter from tyrants.” Folk art style illustrations are enhanced with pert aphorisms from Poor Richard’s Almanac on each page of this beloved story.
