From New York Times bestselling creator and Caldecott Honor recipient Lane Smith comes a fun story of five little lads before they became five really big Founding Fathers—perfect for patriotic holidays and storytime year round!
"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. Until one day, they all played a part in securing America's freedom.""Exercise your freedom to scoop up this one."" —School Library Journal"Download and start listening now!
“While children will love the off-the-wall humor, there is plenty for adult readers to enjoy, too–the clever fly leaf, puns (that bell-ringing took a toll on young Paul), and more. Exercise your freedom to scoop up this one.”
