First edition. Benjamin Franklin was one of the most famous inventors in American history, and according to this amusing book, he got most of his ideas – the good ones at any rate – from a mouse! Funny, interesting and wise, Ben and Me is a classic American story that has been read by generations of young people. Once you've met Amos the mouse, you'll always remember Benjamin Franklin a little differently than the history books do. The first of Lawson's three animal narrated biographical tales. The basis for the 1953 Walt Disney animated movie.
