I know that most people hate this book and think it's so boring, but I enjoyed it very much!!! To all of you who are saying to yourselves "How can someone have enjoyed that book?!?!" I love American history so what can I say? This book explains very well a summary of all the highlights and a few little details about the life of the very famous scientist that we all know and love, Benjamin Franklin.

those who enjoy biographies, anyone having to do a report on Benjamin Franklin
This book is an interesting children’s biography about Benjamin Franklin. He was quite a writer and came up with some of the well-known quotes we still hear today. This book gives details about his life and shows he truly was an amazing American (“wise, witty, funny, kind, generous, and caring”). Since it is a children's biography, it is not boring at all and is a very quick read.
