This book was a fantastic read. It covered a number of Ben Franklin's inventions in a very child friendly way. I loved the details on how the Magic Squares work at the end, as well as the true facts at the end of the book. I think it's a great read and a wonderful way to get kids interested in math and Ben Franklin at the same time!

A funny true story about Ben Franklin and one of his lesser known creations, the magic square. It describes many of Franklin's other great accomplishments as well during the course of the story.

He made a game where you have to find out two different numbers to put together to make one number and then three others to make the same number.

It was kinda boring at first, but it was okay. Magic squares sound like fun.
