Title: Mr. Streissguth includes unusual with expected.
Review: Mr. Streissguth's work is a welcomed effort to begin someone on the path to understanding Dr. Franklin. Though brief, Mr. Streissguth includes many salient points often left out of simple biographies. Points include the difficulties he faced in politics, the failures he knew, the mistakes made. Although written for the young reader, he writes with thoughtfulness and respect. The book never has the "baby-talk" voice found in some young reader books.This biography allows the reader to understand Dr. Franklin was a real person living in difficult times. One of the better mini-bio's on Dr. Franklin I have read with 98% accuracy on the details of his life and accomplishments.G.Robin Smith ben@ben-franklin.org
