Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-- This entry in Adler's biography series gives a well-written, straightforward account of Franklin's life, taking readers through the important milestones and accomplishments. The Wallners' full-color, softly painted illustrations are well executed and add informative details to the text. None of Franklin's life is dealt with in detail but his work as an inventor, statesman, and printer are highlighted with interesting facts. Adler mentions only three of Franklin's four children, omitting the son born prior to his marriage to Deborah Read. However, the other information represents what is commonly regarded as fact concerning Franklin. Fritz' What's the Big Idea, Ben Franklin? (Coward, 1982) is considerably livelier, but is aimed at slightly older readers. Adler's book will provide an excellent resource for primary readers. --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA

By A Customer
These picture book biographies are great for lower elementary students. Big colorful pictures and packed with information. Great for colonial unit study.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXTREMELY VALUABLE AS A SUPPLEMENTAL LEARNING TOOL., November 24, 2006
I like to use this wonderful little book as a supplemental when teaching early American History to the young ones. No book can cover it all and there are plenty out there that cover Revolutionary America during this era. After the children get an overall view of what is happening (other books and lecture), it is rather nice to have this little book, and others like it, to show that these great men were actually human and led lives much like the rest of us. For children to grow up understanding and appreciating our history, I feel this is quite important. This book helps a lot. Highly recommend this one. The illustration are quite good, the text is very readable and not at all boring.
