Description
Reviews
This is a bright and wonderful book, historically accurate and telling the main stories of his life. It shows the boy Lincoln's love of reading and of animals, and of how the adult Lincoln came to believe what he did, ending slavery and saving our country. The book includes a helpful map and a chronology, plus fun facts about our favorite president. Hats off to Demi!" -- James M.
