Ben Franklin?
 Ben Franklin (History Channel) $24.95 Concise and thorough retelling of the highlights of this amazing man's life. Good for images, simple reenactments, pictures of Ben's inventions and a narrative of interest. Like many of History Channel's works, however, it ends a bit abruptly. But well worth the cost.  Who Was Ben Franklin? (Who Was...?) $4.99 I have a half class set of this book, along with others in the series. I use this as a class assigned book, and have found it to be an excellent way to start the year. The writing is engaging, entertaining and informative. We end each week's reading with a corner book talk which always proves lively and fun.  Ben Franklin of Old Philadelphia (Landmark Books) $5.99 My ten year old son loves this book. He's amazed and excited about all of Ben Franklin's inventions and ideas; especially the ones that were for the better of the community. I highly recommend this book for a great look back at the history and contributions of Ben Franklin. |
