John, Paul, George & Ben

Product #:  0786848936
Description:  Children's Literature - Joan Kindig, Ph.D. The Founding Fathers were wee lads once upon a time and by sharing tales from their youth, Lane Smith makes history more fascinating than one can imagine. Paul Revere was not born with that booming voice, you know. John Hancock's superb penmanship became obvious in grade school. And young Ben Franklin was spouting pithy sayings before he was out of knickers. This book is hilarious from start to finish as it plays with the myths we have about these men. Rest assured, the back matter tells the truth about the stories ("Taking Liberties: Wherein we set the record straight with ye olde True or False section") so history emerges unscathed. The design of the book is perfection from the flyleaf to the notes at the end. Smith's use of varied media creates an illusion of a crackled veneer associated with the time period. History should never be dull and, believe me, it is not here. 2006, Hyperion, Ages 7 to 10.
