## About this book

Once there were four lads . . . John (Hancock), Paul (Revere), George (Washington), and Ben (Franklin). Oh yes, there was also Tom (Jefferson), but he was annoyingly independent and hardly ever around. These lads were always getting into trouble for one reason or another. In other words, they took a few. . . liberties. And to be honest, they were not always appreciated. This is the story of five little lads before they became five really big Founding Fathers. Reinforced library binding. Full-color illustrations.
