Summary

More
Ben Franklin developed his first invention while doing what he loved best: swimming! Ben's Big Splash is the story of Franklin's first invention, his journey through the scientific method, and the surprising successes that resulted because he was willing to make mistakes.

The author and illustrator worked closely with Franklin experts, and the rhythmic, whimsical text and watercolor illustrations re-create history in an engaging and unique way. The book includes Franklin quotes, an extensive author's note, a timeline, and a bibliography.
