Abraham Lincoln: President of a Divided Country (Rookie Biographies)

Rating:
Summary: A superb introduction to Abraham Lincoln for young readers
Review: "Abraham Lincoln: President of a Divided Country" by Carol Greene calls itself "A Rookie Biography," and indeed it is an excellent first choice for very young students to read to find out about our 16th President. Greene covers all of the major events in both Lincoln's public and private life, and I was quite impressed with how she goes beyond the basic biographical information to get into some of the issues of the time. This book might be written in simple words but it does attempt to give young readers a sense of some pretty complex issues. This book is full of over 50 illustrations, including photographs from Lincoln's lifetime as well as today, along with etchings, paintings, political broadsides and such, which depict the key events and people in Lincoln's life. For many young readers their lifelong fascination with Abraham Lincoln is going to begin with this wonderful little book. Other Rookie Biographies look at Beethoven, Columbus, Franklin, King, Lee and Pocahontas.

Summary: the life of abe lincoln as a boy, young man, and a president
Review: This book was very interesting, and astounding. I never knew so many things about our 16th presisent. You learn what happened to him as a boy, a young man, his, and mary todds romance, his children, and his great reign. Most of the information about him that I know now came from this book. This book may not be thick, but it has a lot of information in it.
