Electric Ben: The Amazing Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin

40 pp. | Dial | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3749-5 $17.99
(1) 4-6 Byrd divides Franklin's life into seventeen whimsically labeled double-page spreads covering topics ranging from his fascination with electricity to his ideas for social progress to his diplomatic roles. Informative, exploratory, nonpandering text is set on attractive pages; spot art and larger illustrations provide information and present a visual record. This book shimmers with excitement, begging to be read. Reading list, timeline. Bib.
