Reviews for Abe Lincoln

The average rating for Abe Lincoln based on 2 reviews is 3.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-12 00:00:00 Shawn Jones Informative book on Abraham Lincoln that would be best used for 2nd and 3rd grade students needed to practice reading comprehension and build reading confidence. The sentences are set up very simple, though a bit choppy for more experienced readers.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-01 00:00:00 Leonard Hoffman EASILY ACCESSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL INFORMATION Sterling North's informative biography reads easily and should hold the attention of preteen students. The format includes: straight biographical narrative using simple syntax, short quotes from Lincoln's own memoires, fictionalized dialogue and reports by his cousin, Dennis Hanks--in backwoods dialect no less. Although the last chapters gloss over the Civil War and Lincoln's untimely assassination this 150-page book offers real insight into the events and persons who molded our 16th president. This excellent introduction to American presidential history illustrates how America truly represents the land of unlimited opportunity. Social Studies teachers can celebrate--Landmark Books has added yet another title to their fine list of books for young students. (February 9, 2011. I welcome dialgoue with teachers.)
