English was eez-ee-yer to spell? Ben Franklin and Noah Webster did!
Debut author Beth Anderson and the New York Times bestselling
illustrator of I Dissent, Elizabeth Baddeley, tell the story of two
patriots and their attempt to revolutionize the English alphabet.
Once upon a revolutionary time, two great American patriots tried
to make life easier. They knew how hard it was to spell words in
English. They knew that sounds didn't match letters. They knew that
the problem was an inconvenient English alphabet. In 1786, Ben
Franklin, at age eighty, and Noah Webster, twenty-eight, teamed up.
Their goal? Make English easier to read and write. But even for
great thinkers, what seems easy can turn out to be hard. Children
today will be delighted to learn that when they "sound out" words,
they are doing eg-zakt-lee what Ben and Noah wanted.
