Will You Sign Here, John Hancock?

By: Jean Fritz, Trina Schart Hyman

Narrated by: Jeff Brooks

Everyone knows that John Hancock was one of the first signers of the Declaration of Independence. But not many know that he signed his name so large to show how mad he was about how the colonists had been treated. This witty audiobook highlights little-known facts about this historical figure.

I highly recommend this book for ages four and up. Anything by the author, Jean fritz is a great audiobook.

Amazing

This audiobook is fantastic. There is no other way around it. Jeff Brooks is a fantastic narrator with a wonderful and engaging performance. I believe this was actually scored (put to music) with the audio book in mind. It has 100% music coverage and it changes mood as the story does. Its very engaging! Its filled with sound effects which really bring the story to life. I have always thought that audiobooks should not merely be the reading of a book and that the genre could be something special. This book is an example of that! My son, a 6 year old history buff, LOVED it...as did I. Educational and fun. Please don't be off put by the short length. Its just right for the topic and a lot of work went into this. Money well spent. Bravo.
