Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 2-4-- This entry in Adler's biography series gives a well-written, straightforward account of Franklin's life, taking readers through the important milestones and accomplishments. The Wallners' full-color, softly painted illustrations are well executed and add informative details to the text. None of Franklin's life is dealt with in detail but his work as an inventor, statesman, and printer are highlighted with interesting facts. Adler mentions only three of Franklin's four children, omitting the son born prior to his marriage to Deborah Read. However, the other information represents what is commonly regarded as fact concerning Franklin. Fritz' What's the Big Idea, Ben Franklin? (Coward, 1982) is considerably livelier, but is aimed at slightly older readers. Adler's book will provide an excellent resource for primary readers. --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA
