4.0 out of 5 stars A small detail from Franklin's life, January 22, 2011
This review is from: The Hatmaker's Sign (Paperback)
After spending his time and energy drafting the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listened to the Continental Congress debate and change his document. His friend, Benjamin Franklin, noticed his frustration and anger at all of the alterations and told Jefferson a parable about a hat maker who wanted to have a sign made for his shop.


Fleming does an excellent job of retelling Franklin's story and Parker's illustrations keep the reader visually interested. The book highlights a little known event from Franklin's life.
