BEN AND ME
A New and Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin As Written by His Good Mouse, Amos, Lately Discovered
by Robert Lawson illustrated by Robert Lawson
Hugely entertaining (and enlightening) mouse-eye view of the career of Benjamin Franklin. Nobody but Robert Lawson could have done it successfully — this re-interpretation of his public and private life, as seen by a mouse who was his friend. And he has made delightful pen and ink illustrations. (Fantasy/historical fiction. 7-12)
