Children's Books About Abraham Lincoln

Abe Lincoln: The boy who loved books provides a good introduction to Abraham Lincoln's life up to his election as the President of the United States, with particular emphasis on his childhood. This picture book was written by Kay Winters and illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. Many of Carpenter's painting fill double-page spreads. The illustrations add interesting details about young Abraham Lincoln's life. At the end of the book, in the Author's Note, is a half-page biography of Abraham Lincoln's life, from his birth to his assassination. I recommend Abe Lincoln: The boy who loved books for ages 6-10. In addition to appealing to independent readers, the book is also a good read-aloud for classroom or home. Compare prices.
