According to the author, John (Hancock), Paul (Revere), George (Washington), Ben (Franklin), and Independent Tom (Jefferson) were always getting into trouble together as boys before getting into bigger trouble later in life with the King of England, George III. Based on character traits and later accomplishments, this program playfully mixes fact with fiction to hook young viewers into the lives of five of our country's founding fathers. For example, Paul's early work at a belfry damaged his hearing so much that he had to scream just to hear himself, a nuisance that later came in handy when he warned the citizens of Lexington and Concord that the Redcoats were coming! Students will enjoy seeing a less serious (but nevertheless factual) side of five of the people who articulated and fought for the liberties that provided the foundation of the American government.
