The book's dedication to truth reflects the commitment it makes to educating youth about one of our country's most influential founding fathers. With a complete and clear glossary, a fun comprehension review quiz, and thought-provoking 'think tank/ ideas, engaged readers will soak up this book and finally be told the whole story." --Jennifer Meserve, First Grade Teacher

"As a Franklin College graduate, Shannon Anderson has the ideal background to introduce Benjamin Franklin to young readers. The Story of Benjamin Franklin follows the founding father from his early life in the colonies through his brilliant career as an inventor and his historic role in American independence, and ultimately to his emergence as a vocal abolitionist. Children will love this fascinating biography!" --Kerry N. Prather, President, Franklin College
