Benjamin Franklin was an extraordinary man who became famous for his many works as an inventor, scientist, printer, writer, and soldier. This Founding Father's life is outlined in this information-filled text that contains bibliographic references. Grades 4-8--It is appropriate that a man who loved reading and established the first subscription library in America should be the subject of such a stellar book. From printer (his favorite title) to husband and father to scientist to military general to diplomat, "Le Grand Franklin" is hereby presented in all of his wise glory as well as in his humble pride. His incredible life flies by in a flurry of accomplishment, with readers hardly noticing the years passing, or that they are learning an interesting and important part of history. The many black-and-white repro-ductions, some from the man's own hand, complement the typeface, which was used in productions from Franklin's Philadelphia press. The source notes put most series biographies to shame. With its chronologies, map, index, diverse bibliography, and helpful Web sites, this is a solid research tool. Franklin's maxims and passages from his Pennsylvania Gazette are generously spread throughout the text, and readers will develop an appreciation for who this person was in his own time and what he means to the United States in our day. Adler doesn't miss a beat in his first biography for this age level, which is perhaps the best so far of a man who, he suggests, may have been "our greatest American."-
B .Franklin, Printer by: David A. Adler Reviewed by: Gretchen Hall Benjamin Franklin has made great tributes to science. In this book he starts out working as an apprentice in a printing shop. When he was not printing, he read. He read books on navigation, arithmetic, grammar, and philosophy. This book gives insight to Franklin’s experiments, electricity. The paperback does not say that he invented electricity (like some mistakenly say), but experimented with it. The shock that Franklin received led to the use of electricity. Had he not wonder what would happen to a kite in a storm, we would not have any of today’s technology. This book would give any reader of it quality information on science contributor. Benjamin Franklin. This book would be great for sixth graders to read. A student might use this book for research on people who have contributed to science. Franklin’s story could be incorporated with a science lesson, a writing prompt, and a history lesson. The chapter called Experiments with Electricity, shows Franklin’s thirst for wondering. These things could be pointed out by the teacher, then the class could create their own “I wonders” in a journal assignment. Prix et récompensesListes notables
