Well written and contains a ton of details about his life - his scientific discoveries, inventions, diplomatic work, and family relationships. A perfect biography for middle elementary school levels!

Not a bad read on my favorite forefather, old Benjy, and it actually included a little information that was new to me.

THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT HOW BEN WAS RAISED AND HOW HE LIVED BEFOR HE EVEN KNEW THE TERM SCIENCE. Ben franklin was not raised rich he was raised very poor in a very large family. BEN WAS NOT ONLY A SCIENTIST HE WAS ALSO A, LEADER, WRITER, INVENTOR, STATESMAN, AND FIGHTER FOR HIS COUNTRY. THIS BOOK WILL SHOW HOW HE WENT FROM WORKING IN RICH PEOPLES SHIP AND MAILING TO TAKING PICTURES, AND SELF POTRIATS
