I really really enjoyed this book. My son had to write a book review using words like, "Then" and such. Franklin had 16 sibling! He worked 20 years!

This biography is the condensed version of the complete life of Benjamin Franklin...birth to death. It covers who he was as a child, his personality, and his genius.
I have to say, this book is very informative for a picture book. The text is easy and it reads well. I think any child would be able to gain a lot of good information from this book. I would use this for biographical reports.

I read this thinking I might use it to teach my first graders about Ben Franklin this week. I didn't find anything I disliked about it, but in the end I didn't read it to them. Although it was the simplest and most level-appropriate book on him I could find, I didn't find much inspiring or thought provoking about it that I thought would enhance their learning much. I guess I rate this book just OK.

This was a very informative book. The illustrations were not too exciting, but it was overall a good book. I even learned facts about him I never knew.
The book Benjamin Franklin is a biogrify. It tells about all most everything in Benjimin Franklins life.
