What's the Big Idea, Ben Franklin?
My kids and I both wound up liking this a lot more than we thought we would. We had several important non-fiction conversations around the book. We talked about the fact that it's important to look at when a book is published, because although non-fiction means Not Fake, it doesn't mean we can believe EVERYTHING we read in nonfiction books at face value. For example, this book was printed in 1975. Researchers have learned a lot more about Ben Franklin since 1975.
We also had a talk about the myth of Ben's kite being struck by lightning. With the help of Mythbusters, we discovered the kernel of truth in the experiment. Read/see more at
Additionally, the amount information in this book lined up pretty flawlessly with The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones. We pulled the Ben Franklin book because he's pretty central to The 39 Clues, and "What's the Big Idea, Ben Franklin?" helped us understand almost all of the references to Franklin's life in The Maze of Bones.
