Ben and Me

Amos, a clever church mouse, moves into Benjamin Franklin's fur cap and, according to Amos, is the real genius behind Ben's greatest ideas, from the Franklin stove to the lightning experiment and the Declaration of Independence. Robert Lawson's funny classic, illustrated with his own drawings, is a playful way into American history for young readers.
