Summary
Born to a family of farmers， Lincoln stood out from an early age--literally！ （He was six feet four inches tall。） As sixteenth President of the United States， he guided the nation through the Civil War and saw the abolition of slavery。 But Lincoln was tragically shot one night at Ford's Theater--the first President to be assassinated。 Over 100 black-and-white illustrations and maps are included。

I really liked this book so I would give this book a rating of 4 and a half stars because you can learn a lot about from book and that is part of what is important while reading a book because when you read a book you always have a takeaway I also think that like what is the point of reading a book if you don’t learn anything from it。 The major idea of the book is to talk about Abraham Lincolns life and how he wanted to end slavery。 This book can relate to my hero's journey because he wanted tha I really liked this book so I would give this book a rating of 4 and a half stars because you can learn a lot about from book and that is part of what is important while reading a book because when you read a book you always have a takeaway I also think that like what is the point of reading a book if you don’t learn anything from it。 The major idea of the book is to talk about Abraham Lincolns life and how he wanted to end slavery。 This book can relate to my hero's journey because he wanted that everyone treated everyone the same that way slavery ends。 This book changed me as a reader because when I read this book I started liking it and I finished it in less than a day so it inspired me to read more。 I recommend this book to my sister because she likes to read interesting books and I really found this book interesting also because it is not so long so it is fun to read。 。。。more

I started reading things to brush up on history。 These are nice because they are a brief summary of the person and their role in history。 Adult books tend to be a little too detailed and dry for my taste。

I like how this book is written。 It’s a lot easier for me to understand than when reading the bigger adult books。

Excellent short read on a man's life who was just as complicated as it was interesting。 Reading this book inspired me to purchase and watch the motion picture "Lincoln" directed by Steven Spielberg。 After watching the film， it mentions that it was based on a book "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin。 I also own this book but at the moment I have not read it yet。 Excellent short read on a man's life who was just as complicated as it was interesting。 Reading this book inspired me to purchase and watch the motion picture "Lincoln" directed by Steven Spielberg。 After watching the film， it mentions that it was based on a book "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin。 I also own this book but at the moment I have not read it yet。 。。。more

I loved learning about this president and how he had basically one year of schooling and became one of the greatest and most honored presidents。 It's sad that only 1 of his sons lived to be an adult。 The parts about slavery kind of went over my head in some parts， but still a great book。 ！！！ I loved learning about this president and how he had basically one year of schooling and became one of the greatest and most honored presidents。 It's sad that only 1 of his sons lived to be an adult。 The parts about slavery kind of went over my head in some parts， but still a great book。 ！！！ 。。。more

Hundreds of books have been written on various topics of Abraham Lincoln's life。 This is a nice synopsis of his many accomplishments。 There are various side comments/short stories included in this book that add a greater knowledge to the reader about the times in which Abraham lived。 I especially liked the short story about him having depression。 Older books would never have mentioned this as the disease was thought to show his weakness。 Whomever reads this book will learn many of the aspects of Hundreds of books have been written on various topics of Abraham Lincoln's life。 This is a nice synopsis of his many accomplishments。 There are various side comments/short stories included in this book that add a greater knowledge to the reader about the times in which Abraham lived。 I especially liked the short story about him having depression。 Older books would never have mentioned this as the disease was thought to show his weakness。 Whomever reads this book will learn many of the aspects of life in the nineteenth century。 This is a worthwhile book to read but there is no real earth shaking new information that has not been covered in the various other books about his life。 。。。more

A classic semi biography。 I enjoy the "bobble head" books。 They serve as good entertainable historical education for elementary aged students。 Something I learned in this book that I did not previously know was that Abraham Lincoln was a Lawyer and yet he did not go to school！ Everything Mr。 sixteenth president knew was from his reading。 A classic semi biography。 I enjoy the "bobble head" books。 They serve as good entertainable historical education for elementary aged students。 Something I learned in this book that I did not previously know was that Abraham Lincoln was a Lawyer and yet he did not go to school！ Everything Mr。 sixteenth president knew was from his reading。 。。。more

Grade Level: 3rd- 5th Genre: BiographyThis book talks about Abraham Lincoln before his presidency， when he was a senator and before that even。 It tells of his life as such a tall man， growing up in sure a poor family。 It shows how he came from so little and did great things。

This was a great read when learning about on the the earlier President's of the United States。 This books was cool， because it really gave good descriptions about how President Lincoln struggled for a while growing up and never really new what he wanted to do。 When he won the presidency， his dreams to change the world were able to come true to help the Union of the US try and come out of the Civil War。 It also gave really cool details about his life， like how he loved to read Aesop fables becaus This was a great read when learning about on the the earlier President's of the United States。 This books was cool， because it really gave good descriptions about how President Lincoln struggled for a while growing up and never really new what he wanted to do。 When he won the presidency， his dreams to change the world were able to come true to help the Union of the US try and come out of the Civil War。 It also gave really cool details about his life， like how he loved to read Aesop fables because his stepmother gave him books about that。 This is a great book to introduce into those middle grades when learning about historical figures that have changed America is different ways。 I labeled it a WOW book， because I have read many books about Lincoln， and this one is definitely the best when it comes to cool and interesting facts and narratives about him。In the classroom， this is the perfect book to have book clubs and discussions when you're reading an informational/biographical text。 The students can get together and discuss the books and information， it can help the students soak in everything more than them just reading it independently。 another cool activity that you could do with a text like this is have the students create their own autobiography book。 This could be a fun and enriching activity that shows off their writing and story telling skills。 They can get creative and illustrate their book as well。 。。。more

Kids review:“It was a good book。 The most sad part is when he died。 I thought Abraham Lincoln’s boys were funny。 I knew some things about him already but did learn some new things in this book。 One thing I learned is that he never scolded his kids。 I think he was courageous， focused， and calm。”
