How Ben Franklin Stole the Lightning

(3) K-3 While many know the story of Franklin's kite flying experiment (here recast as "stealing" lightning), they may not be aware of the amazing range of his talents. Schanzer's lively tale of Franklin's accomplishments is accompanied by a jolly, miniaturized Ben character who appears in nearly all the amusing illustrations. Highlighted are Franklin's inventions--his political contributions are not the focus of this book.
