Jean Fritz is a good writer. This biography's text is interesting, pertinent, and appropriate for children. But Holy Cow, three pages in, there is an illustration of Ben's brother drowning in a vat of soap while his mother has her back to him. I do not in the least understand why this particular factoid deserved a full page illustration. It's left me ill to my stomach. So be forewarned.

Excellent! I learned a lot and it kept my son's interest with the humor. Well written.

Jean Fritz's biographies are the best! They are humorous, well researched and interesting! I wish we had the time to read all of them!

We love Jean Fritz! This was a great intro for my boys to Ben Franklin.

Good overview of Franklin's life. A bit flippant about certain things (like the "funny" picture of a baby drowning in a tub). I appreciate the message about Franklin being a life-long learner.
