History Book Club: “Ben and Me” by Robert Lawson-Friday, June 12 at 3:00 p.m. (Community Room)

Hagaman Library’s History Book Club will be taking a detour into the world of historical fiction during their next meeting to discuss “Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos” by Robert Lawson!

No RSVP is needed as we endeavor to learn new information through imagination.

This classic tale from Newbery- and Caldecott-winning author and illustrator Robert Lawson tells the story of a little mouse, and his good friend, American icon Ben Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin is 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! Once you’ve met Amos the mouse, you’ll always remember Benjamin Franklin a little differently than the history books do.
