John, Paul, George & Ben


John, Paul, George & Ben

Written and Illustrated by: Lane Smith

"Once there were four lads... John (Hancock) , Paul (Revere) , George (Washington) , and Ben (Franklin) . Oh yes, there was also Tom (Jefferson) , but he was always off doing his own thing, so people usually forgot about him. The lads were always getting into trouble for one reason or another. Johns handwriting was bigger than all the other kids. Paul's ear-splitting job as a bell-ringer made him speak a LITTLE TOO LOUDLY all the time. George was too honest for his own good. Ben was always talking in proverbs.... And Tom, well, he was just plain independent. But somehow, these five lads grew up to start a revolution that would change this country forever. Legendary artist Lane Smith has created a totally fresh and funny way to learn about the Founding Fathers of our country with just a few liberties mixed in."
