Roundup of children's books First you need to find the perfect bike for you. Light beams, books, numbers and sugar dissolving in tea fascinated him and eventually led to amazing discoveries about motion, magnetism, atoms, gravity, relativity, time and the universe. Newbery Medalist Russell Freedman makes his case by generously and gracefully incorporating Franklin's own words into the narrative that follows his rise from poor apprentice in Boston to man of letters, community organizer and scientist in Philadelphia to statesman abroad. Hero on a BicycleBy Shirley Hughes(Candlewick; 214 pages; $15.99; ages 10-14)At age 86, a British author-illustrator, famed for picture books featuring small domestic dramas, turns to a bigger tableau in this, her first novel. Under the Tuscan sun and in the dark of night, war forces impossible life-and-death choices in this page-turner that powerfully juxtaposes daring and danger, loyalty and betrayal, evil and human goodness. The Favorite DaughterBy Allen Say(Scholastic; 32 pages; $17.99; ages 4-8)Caldecott Medalist Allen Say offers both biography and autobiography in this intimate exploration of family life and biracial identity. With an assist from two photos of the beautiful, kimono-clad Yuriko, first at 2 and then as a young woman, Say's restrained and realistic watercolors capture lovely cityscapes as well as an inner journey from confusion to pride.
