Who Was Ben Franklin?

Bought this for my son when he studying for his hero show. He loves this book and learned so much!

As a fourth grade teacher, I really like this series of Who Was books. They have captured many of my students' interest in nonfiction and educate in an interesting way.

I love these books for quick information about the subject matter, great for all ages, perfect for school projects, tutoring and homeschool or just the history buff! Enough information is contained to satisfy the reader while also encouraging them to go further & research more on the subject matter! I purchase them often for elementary, middle & high school age! Well worth it!

I have bought these biographies for my 4th grade granddaughter. She loves them!

I'm a 2nd grade teacher and my students love Who Was Books so much that I keep having to replace them in my classroom library!

Not a historical masterpiece, but the joyful and youthful introduction to young readers of this extraordinary American icon.Fun tidbits to share in a beginning reader format. Just like the huge head and diminished belly, not a "World Book" reference. This is not a resource for high school or college term papers, but a joyful storytelling to get young readers interested in the Kite guy. Will use to supplement material for elementary school storytelling and presentations, along with several other elementary biographies.

Glad that I got this book on Benjamin Franklin for my son, good illustrations and a very inspirational life story for him, hope this sparks his interest in history / biographies!

Benjamin Franklin was America's first true Renaissance Man. He was the first man to do so many incredible things. His autobiography is considered by many scholars to be the first American entry in great world-wide literature classics. He was a remarkable inventor who refused to patent his ideas because he wanted lightening rods, bifocals, and other inventions to be free to the public good. This is a super series of biographies of notable lives for young readers. Adults will enjoy this refresher course in American history and young readers will profit handsomely from meeting such a terrific man of so many talents.
