Ben Franklin's Big Splash The Mostly True Story of His First Invention by Barb Rosenstock illustrated by S.D. Schindler*

This story focuses on Ben Franklin's desire to swim faster and more efficiently.  On a two page spread the author/illustrator share his other contributions later in life.
I like how it focuses on his childhood perseverance and work ethic.
Lots of alliteration -"s" words.
So fun to read aloud!
The design and layout is clever and fun.
Author's note and timeline offer more information about Ben and American history.
*Highly recommend.
