(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Dooling. In an inviting, flowing narrative, Giblin records the facts, but Franklin's difficulties as well as his accomplishments are stressed. Appended materials include a list of "Important Dates" from Franklin's life; a selective listing of his inventions; and a descriptive listing of historic sites. Dooling's realizations are noteworthy--and handsome--examples of the illustrator as historian. This book in text, art, and format is a worthy tribute to Franklin's genius. Ind.
