This is a biography of Benjamin Franklin. It goes through his life from the time he was born in 1706, to the time he died in 1790. It goes through all of the inventions and things he did to make the world what it is today.
I think that this book and others like it will be good to have in the classroom, because it tells about the life of one of the most important people in American history. It is also very nice because it is written for children. It is told in a way that will be easy for children to understand

As a statesman and founding father, Benjamin Franklin accomplished many things in his lifetime. He is an important figure in history that children should learn about. This book can easily be used as a supplement for a history lesson about America's beginnings. ( )
