This is a great biography book about our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. It begins in his childhood life growing up on a farm to his rise to presidency where he guided the nation through the civil war and saw the abolition of slavery. It talks about how he was tragically shot at Ford’s Theater, the first president to be assassinated. There’s plenty of illustrations in this small chapter book including maps. Based on reading level this is probably for 2nd graders and up. This is one book from an entire series of biographies from other presidents, to athletes, to important historical figures. These books are great for kids to read or even to read in class as they teach a lot and can connect to different topics that may be being taught. It’s a great extension for kids to collect a better understanding of something that may even have been only talked about briefly and they are interested in learning more! ( )
