Abe Lincoln and the Muddy Pig Book

This biography of Abe Lincoln is great for kids who are four and older. I would rate this book five stars out of five because it does a perfect job at telling a story and also mentions history and the characteristic of Abe Lincoln. This book is about Abe Lincoln's journey as he goes to make an important speech. Abe dresses in a nice new black suit to give his speech, when on his way he witnesses a muddy pig. This pig seemed stuck, and Abe loved to help animals, but he could not get his suit muddy so he walks away. Shortly he realizes that he wanted to help the pig and ends up messing up his new suit. However the audience only wanted to hear what Abe had to say and didn't say anything to him as they talked to him after his speech. I think that by telling a great/funny story while telling history is a great way to keep a young readers attention! I would definitely read this book to my class; the pictures make the story even better!
