The Only True Biography of Ben Franklin by His Cat, Missy Hooper by Dan Greenburg

Sample Cattish words: Meow. Per muffer. Gracko.
English translation: Hello. Good luck. Congratulations.

You probably already knew that Ben Franklin was a Founding Father of our country and a great inventor, but Missy Hooper will tell you surprising and absolutely true things that you didn't know, like:

Why Ben had to sail to France for a dangerous secret mission to help the Colonists win the Revolutionary War.
How Ben discovered his secretary was a British spy, and what he did about it.
Why, if not for Ben, America would still be a British colony.

It's the first book in a series of biographies of American heroes, as told by their devoted but snarky cats. These stories were written by important cats at the Feline Historical Society, and translated from the original Cattish language.
