Author Biography Nancy Dickmann has written more than 150 non-fiction books for children, specializing in science and history. Before becoming an author, she worked for many years as an editor and publisher of childrens books. Review Of the four inventors featured in this series, Benjamin Franklin is the only household name. The other three invented familiar or commonly used things (the Super Soaker from Lonnie Johnson being a highlight for children), but their names are less well known. All the books provide some context for the invention, describe how it came into being, share a brief biography of the individual, and explain the impact of his creation. The straightforward writing uses short, concise sentences and is organized in a primarily chronological format. Large photographs are included on all spreads with brief, informative captions. Back matter includes a glossary, further reading, and critical thinking questions. VERDICT These will be a strong addition to biography collections for the youngest readers.--Jody Kopple, Shady Hill School, Cambridge, MA "School Library Journal" Promotional "Headline" Highlights the scientific process and includes inventions kids can relate to; Meets Next Generation Science Standards; Includes full-color photographs, sidebars, and facts Feature Discussion Questions, Fact box(es), Full color, Glossary, Index, Infographic(s), More Resources/Suggestions for Further Reading, Photograph(s), Sidebar(s), Table of Contents Details ISBN1977117856 Author Nancy Dickmann Short Title BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Pages 32 Language English ISBN-10 1977117856 ISBN-13 9781977117854 Format Paperback DEWEY B Imprint Capstone Press, Incorporated Place of Publication Edina Country of Publication United States Series Little Inventor Subtitle The Man Behind the Lightning Rod Year 2020 Publication Date 2020-01-01 AU Release Date 2020-01-01 NZ Release Date 2020-01-01 US Release Date 2020-01-01 UK Release Date 2020-01-01 Audience Age 6-8 Publisher Capstone Press, Incorporated Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
