A review by libraryowl
John, Paul, George & Ben by Lane Smith

4.0

This was a clever way to make historical characters feel more interesting to young children. Although, it is a piece of fiction, kids love the stories of why the characters John Hancock, George Washington, Paul Revere, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin became the adults they were. It makes the adult readers wonder about how they really may have been as children. The drawings are done cartoon style and seem exaggerated which only adds to the playfulness of the story. Not only that, author Lane Smith went the extra mile when making sure that the signatures match those on the declaration of independence. Fun Read!
