Sorry, I can't stand these pictures. Obviously some folks love them but not me. The text is fine, but adds very little to what is known from other picture-books about Lincoln, for example, [b:Abe Lincoln Remembers|530469|Abe Lincoln Remembers|Ann Turner|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175565843s/530469.jpg|518097]. ( )

Shares information about Lincoln's entire life, birth through death. A few sentences of text appear at the bottom of each page. Brightly colored folk-art illustrations (gouache paints on paper) fill nearly 3/4 of each page. Content is sometimes graphic: battle scenes show fallen soldiers, Lincoln is shown with his head on sideways next to Booth holding a smoking gun. Additional reference aids: full text of Gettysburg Address and chronological list of major events in Lincoln's life. ( )
