This is a charming little book, written for "young readers" -- I'm guessing, like, ten-year olds? I recently traveled to Philadelphia to visit a friend, and Franklin is apparently the favored son of that city. I realized then that my knowledge of Franklin was very spotty and was largely focused on his achievements as an old man. So, I finally got a Queens borough library card, and my first checked-out book was this.
The book is about a hundred pages, but there are many images and large borders and font, so it goes much faster than you'd even expect. It lays out -- without becoming laborious or going into gory details -- Franklin's life. It lionizes him a bit, but it also points out some warts, and it treats the whole matter with a light, professional aloofness that was fitting.
I do worry about the scholarship of this book, though. It was written by two children's writers with no credentials in history that I could find, and -- aside from "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin," which shouldn't be trusted for so many reasons -- all the references were secondary sources, biographies and the like.
Anyway, I was scolded by my roommate to instead read the autobiography, so that's my next project.
