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!

I would have given it 5 stars of it didn't have nudity in it.

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.

Nice Biography of Benjamin Franklin. We read this for my son's history. Looking forward to reading some other books like this from Jean Fritz.
