These d'Aulaire books are fantastic. After I realized we could read small sections at a time, this book was not too intimidating to go through with my young children.
The illustrations in all of the d'Aulaire books are beautiful. Our family has a great love for Abraham Lincoln, and this sweet biography is a wonderful way to introduce children to his life and character.
This book is breathtakingly beautiful and just captivating. It's truly a living book that just brings you in as you read. It has quickly become a family favorite!!
The book was great and I learned a lot about Abraham Lincoln. My favorite part was when a few kids tripped him and his hat full of letters came off. -Skylar 8
Make Abraham Lincoln your child's friend with this book! Beautifully written and illustrated, this book is definitely a keeper and one to pass on to the grandkids.
This book and all the others in the series are so wonderful! The illustrations are amazing. The text does an excellent job of drawing in and informing younger readers without giving too much info for the age group. I learned from them as well!
This purchase was for our Great Granddaughter who loves it.
As the second biography I have read of Lincoln, I have to say this is a great choice to give to any child. It does an excellent job of avoiding the violence and death that surrounded Lincoln. If you want a mostly accurate biography of Lincoln that won't haunt your children's dreams with images of the undead, this is the one.
Would recommend this book highly. Very informative and a great read. Artwork is beautiful. Shares a lot of insight about Abraham's younger years and the journey to the White House. GREAT BOOK!
Very well written and illustrated. I bought it for a younger member of the family.
Another classic from my childhood, I LOVE this book. My four children have all read through this carefully, and know more about Lincoln than I do. The art is so beautiful that the images last for years in your mind (from my own experience!).
This book is a great book for young readers. My son is in fourth grade and was easily able to read this book and understand it. It gives a great overall look at Abraham Lincoln's life at a level a fourth grader can handle well.
The book arrived on time and in flawless condition. It was a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. Beautifully illustrated, this introduction to Lincoln is perfectly suited to a middle elementary child who reads well and is becoming acquainted with our great historical figures. It is not a precise, technical biography but a beginner's look into the life and times of our sixteenth president. It is a good "read aloud" book.
All my children have loved this book through our homeschooling years. I would catch them reading it even when it wasn't assigned. The D'Aulaire books have a special timeless charm about them which is appealing to children. The illustrations are wonderful and the text is engaging. We have enjoyed this book time and time again.
