Who was Abraham Lincoln biography

My children and I really enjoyed this condensed version of Abraham Lincolns life. It stated the good and the bad in his life without making overstating anything. For example, it says that his children had free rein of the white house and were not typically disciplined. Whether or not he should or should not have disciplined the children (which is a judgement call) is not delved into, just simply stated. The reader can easily follow Abe Lincoln's life chronologically. It was a good book (my judgement call!).

Great little history book!

My second grader loves these little books. He will not put them down until he is finished. Great information in an easy format.
