About the Book
A legendary artist has created a totally fresh and funny way to learn about America's founding fathers with this "Revolutionary" new picture book. Full color.Book Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling creator and Caldecott Honor recipient Lane Smith comes a fun story of five little lads before they became five really big Founding Fathers--perfect for celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence! Once there were four lads . . . John (Hancock), Paul (Revere), George (Washington), and Ben (Franklin). Oh yes, there was also Tom (Jefferson), but he was annoyingly independent and hardly ever around. These lads were always getting into trouble for one reason or another. In other words, they took a few . . . liberties. And to be honest, they were not always appreciated. Until one day, they all played a part in securing America's freedom. "Exercise your freedom to scoop up this one." --School Library JournalDon't miss Madam President, also written and illustrated by Lane Smith!
