 Rating:  - Bob Soriano TED 451I enjoyed this book as a tool for children in the primary grades especially. The content and illustrations are not thorough enough for older children but are perfect for students in the K-3 ages. The length of the book was appropriate but it seemed to sometimes drag on for a while. I especially liked the timeline at the end of the story which is typical in this specific series of books.

The illustrations are ok, some reviewers thought the depiction of Abraham was not realistic.

Alist of facts do not a story make! Lincoln was a fascinating man, with a sense of humor and a strong will and an honest character who seems to have truly cared for others. None of this comes out in Adler's books. Not even listed as facts in his boring way. I gave the book one star because the artist shouldn't be punished for illustrating the wrong book. But the people in ... Read More Rating:  - Great beginner biographyPerfect biography for first through fourth graders. Adorablecartoon pictures and packed with information.
