Ten-year-old Ben Franklin would rather test ideas than work in his father's candle shop. His mind is always busy, and his newest experiment involves a kite, a pond, and a daring question: can a person cross water without swimming? This beginning biography introduces young readers to Ben Franklin as a curious child, long before he became one of America's famous founders. The story focuses on his love of experiments and his habit of asking practical, surprising questions. Ben Franklin and His First Kite is a clear, accessible Ready-to-Read title for children who enjoy history, inventions, and true stories about creative thinkers. It makes early American history feel lively by starting with one boy's restless imagination.
