"Excellent book on our 16th president. It is colorful and easy to
read. The biography is loaded with information about his life, his
family, and his presidency. I would recommend this book both for
children and for adults who want to learn more about Mr. Lincoln
and his impact on American history." --S. Strelecki
"Jablonski's fact-filled biography of Abraham Lincoln is an
informative, insightful, and entertaining read that will have kids
turning the pages as they learn his important and inspiring story.
While some readers might be familiar with Lincoln's presidency,
Jablonski's book starts with his childhood and includes interesting
details about his life and family. Her well-researched book is
filled with rich back matter, including a glossary, test yourself
questions, interactive graphics and maps, and "think tanks" that
encourage readers to visualize his life and to make deeper
connections. I am excited to put this book on my library shelf, and
I know that it is going to be popular with my elementary students."
--Soline Holmes, Librarian at Academy of the Sacred Heart
"One thing that really impressed me about this installment in the
youth biography series is the thought that went into the Think Tank
questions. Throughout the book, at least once per chapter, a Think
Tank question encourages critical, creative, and empathetic
thinking from the reader. This is an amazing tool to help children
to engage with the text beyond the words on the page!" --Jen K.
