From Publishers Weekly
This volume in the Rookie Biography series seems aimed at the same children who have recently become acquainted with I Can Read books. It's a purely utilitarian book; although it is neither particularly attractive nor written in lively language, it contains all the elements that teachers most often demand when assigning children book reports on biographies: a table of contents, a useful time line of Franklin's life and a helpful index. All the major highlights of Franklin's life are mentioned in these pages: the writing of Poor Richard's Almanack , early electrical experiments, his pre-revolutionary diplomacy in England, up to his work on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The illustrations are also utilitarian, with black-and-white photos and engravings, and full-color paintings on every other page. Ages 6-9.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- Surprisingly, this title succeeds in portraying to the young the very essence of Benjamin Franklin. Young readers will appreciate the accomplishments and failures of this great man and will understand why this man of spirit is considered one of the foremost citizens of history. They will be encouraged to seek out other biographies of greater depth, such as James Daugherty's Poor Richard (Viking, 1948; o.p.). The black-and-white illustrations and color reproductions add quality and interest to the story. With five short chapters, a time line, and an index, this book will be an informative reading experience for beginning readers .
