Ben Franklin's Big Splash: The Mostly True Story of His First Invention by Barb Rosenstock

4.0

When Ben Franklin was eleven years old, he came up with his first invention. Although most people did not go swimming at the time, young Ben loved to swim. While studying the fish in the river, he tried to come up with things he could wear that would improve his own swimming. An interesting look at his inventing process, especially how he approached successes and failures. Recommended for grades 1-3.
