Now and Ben: The Modern Inventions of Benjamin Franklin

Franklin also designed the lightning rod, suggested the idea of daylight savings time, and invented bifocals — all inspired by his common sense and intelligence.

The Prairie Bud & Pasque Children’s Book Awards are sponsored by the South Dakota Library Association. Prairie Bud winners are determined by South Dakota kindergarten, first and second grade students. Prairie Pasque winners are determined by South Dakota third, fourth, and fifth grade students. Students are encouraged to read and vote for their one favorite book of the year from the masterlists of titles. The books receiving the most votes from the students win the awards. A committee of educators and librarians select the books nominated for the awards.
