Benjamin Franklin, by Pamela Hill Nettleton

This book is about Benjamin Franklin's life.  He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1706.  Ben's father had a shop they made candles and soap. Ben was one of our founding fathers.  He made a lot of inventions.  He was very curious.  When he had a question he tried to figure it out.  He opened a printer shop and he wrote a book called the Poor Richard's Almanac.   He helped start the first library, the first fire department, and the first city hospital.  Did you know that Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 bill?  He was an inventor and a printer and a scientist.  He realized that lightning was electricity.  How he did it was, he flew a kite on a  stormy day and put a key onto the string.  When the lighting hit the kite it knocked him out.
