Biography
This book is the story of Abraham Lincoln. The book begins with Abe's grandfather before he was born, and it has black and white full-page illustrations of Abe throughout the book. The Gettysburg Address is presented in its entirety at the end of the book.
I would rate this book as excellent. I would use this book in a unit on the Civil War. I think that the book will offer students a better understanding of the feelings nad events that led to this tragic event.
One of my favorite Presidents and very appropo with the current Presidential election being yesterday. This would be a great book to use with kids in the classroom during either the Civil War lesson or in a government lesson. Looking forward to reading this book! Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bonnie, this is a very appropriate book for our current events. I'm glad you were able to find something like this at a younger reading level. Thanks for sharing!
