(4) 4-6 Leaders of the American Revolution series. This informative biography, largely chronological and chock full of facts, is punctuated with Franklin's engaging anecdotes and witticisms, which prevents it from being dull or overwhelming. Color photographs, portraits, and reproductions of historical documents are well captioned. "Test Your Knowledge" sections suggest that the book is intended for classroom use; the format might prevent casual readers from picking it up. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
