Books by Augusta Stevenson can always be counted on to deliver a good story and to respect a child's intelligence - and to teach. The book opens: "A long time ago, away up in New England in the little city of Boston there was a certain blue ball. It was about the size of a cocoanut, and it hung above the front door of a certain little house. On this blue ball was a name - Josiah Franklin. That was all, but it was enough. Everyone in Boston knew that the blue ball was the sign Josiah Franklin used for his candle-and-soap shop in Union Street. They knew that he lived in this little house, too, as most tradesmen did in those days. They knew that the shop was in the front room facing the street, and that the Franklin family lived in the big room just back of it." The Childhood of Family Americans series, almost 100 years old now, chronicles the early years of famous American men and women in an accessible manner. Each book is faithful in spirit to the values and experiences that influenced the person's development. These books reaffirm the importance of our American heritage.
I am a home teacher, and my student is very interested in Benjamin Franklin, so this book is perfect for his reading level. He is autistic, and a slow learner, and reads on a 3 -5th grade level, though he is 31 years old. He needs and often enjoys low-vocabulary, high-interest chapter books, and Ben Franklin, by Aladdin Paperbacks is excellent for him. My student is Chinese, and English is a second language to him, and this series of reading materials functions well as a vehicle for learning English, and encourages his interest in history and famous people. I plan or ordering additional books from this series.
My 7 yr old used this book for school and he loved reading about Ben Franklin. He always wanted to know what was going to happen in the next chapter so we would often read more than one chapter at a time!
us historians of our past...I highly recommend this biography of a young printer, Benjamin Franklin. Stevenson talks about the bigger of Ben's life, however going into smallest details in ocations(In my opinion: Like all biographers should.)This is a small price for a large book and may be ordered from .com!
This is a very readable series for elmentary and even junior high students. The people come alive so that the students relate to a person and not just a name in a history book.
Good information for a children's story writer. Good to know that Franklin was not always a good model, but this book doesn't emphasize that, it wouldn't be good for children if it did.
Enjoyed her books when I was a kid and still enjoy them now. Love how they are written as a fictional story but give real facts. Makes it very interesting to learn about the individual.
I thought that it was a good book because I like biographies. I especially liked the part when he went to the Latin School and he couldn't say the poem because the school master gave Ben the wrong poem. I recommend this book to you if you like to read biographies. I also recommend this book if you think that a president's life would be interesting.
