Abraham Lincoln

This was a good basic biography of Abraham Lincoln. It is 48 pages long with large font type and engaging photographs, illustrations and embellishments on every page. The balance of text and visual aid holds the reader’s attention and reinforces the information. Although there is no great detail about any one topic, Abraham’s biography was covered sufficiently to provide a basic understanding of his great accomplishments, struggles, and legacies to our nation. A summary of the Civil War, including some of the decisive battles, is nicely woven into Lincoln’s biographical information. There is an Accelerated Reader test leveled at 6.3 (1 point), although the interest level rating is lower grades which seemed a bit low to me. I think the 4th-8th grade students at our school will be interested in this book.
