    <![CDATA[In <em>A New and Astonishing Life Of Benjamin Franklin As Written by His Good Mouse AMOS,</em> young readers will discover that while the good Mr. Franklin got considerable credit, many of his most important contributions <em>really</em> originated with Amos, a less-than-humble rodent. Oh sure, his manuscript was found by author-editor Robert Lawson and published first in 1939, but discerning readers ever since have figured that it's the mouse who's the fellow with the ... tale. (For ages 10 and up with a sense of humor)]]>
