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.
