Synopsis
A humorous look at five of our country's founding fathers., With a nod toward the Beatles, popular children's author and illustrator Lane Smith has created a tongue-in-cheek look at the childhood foibles of John Hancock, Paul Revere, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and also Thomas Jefferson. Many whimsical scenarios imagine how the qualities of these well-known men might have handicapped them as children, though coming in very handy in adult life. For example, while John's elementary school teacher didn't approve of his enormous hand-writing, customers at the store where young Paul worked were embarrassed by his loud calls for "extra-large" underwear. With full-color illustrations. A 2006 New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year and Notable Book. A 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year.

Industry Reviews
"[A] singular blend of parody and historically accurate events."
Publishers Weekly (01/23/2006)
"While there is a hallowed place for irreverence in children's literature, one might wish for a work that more evenly balances humor with substance. Still, this may serve as an entry point for kids who think that history is dry as dust, and 'Ye Olde True or False Section' is really pretty funny."
(03/15/2006)
"Smith's witty text and illustrations bring new life to a few old chestnuts...."
