During the 1700s, Benjamin Franklin established himself as one of America's greatest citizens. After all, he was a printer and writer, a statesman and scientist, a humanitarian and inventor! Some people would even say he helped "invent" the United States! In Benjamin Franklin, kids will get an up-close look at the life and times of this prolific Founding Father. From his early years in Boston to the famous experiments with electricity and his globe-trotting negotiations during the Revolutionary War, kids will examine why our country is a better place because of his legendary contributions.
