Editorial Reviews

Abraham Lincoln grew up just like everyone else. In this book he is brought to life page by page as the reader journeys through his life. Each page has illustrations as well as pictures that go along with Lincoln’s life story. Readers will gain information they may not have known before about his life as well as re-learn things. This is written in first-person narrative and makes it seem as if Abraham Lincoln is talking directly to the reader. There is a timeline at the end of the book that will give an “at-a-glance” review of Abraham Lincoln’s life. There is also a glossary in the back to help understand vocabulary that might be new or difficult to understand. Teachers and parents will enjoy adding this book to their collections for boys and girls to read. As part of the “When I Grow Up” series, it will interest the readers to learn more about others in this series as well. Reviewer: Beth-Anne White; Ages 6 to 10.
