My Little Golden Book About Abraham Lincoln

I was happy to find that Little Golden Book has released introductory books about both Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. I picked these up for my grandchildren to read when they are at my house. While the books are by different authors, they have the same illustrator and a similar feel to how the stories are told.My grandson, at 4 years old, is able to follow along with the story about President Lincoln. His sister, who is two years old, enjoys the illustrations and a shorter, verbal story.The book starts with Abraham Lincoln as a boy, his family life and how he improved his lot in life with self-education and hard, honest work. The story continues through his election, fight against slavery and the Civil War. It ends as the war ends and does not mention the manner of his death (which might be distressing for the age group this is aimed at.)There are also some interesting facts about President Lincoln listed in the back of the book. I find it a great introductory book about one of the greatest Presidents of the United States and appreciate the delicacy used in presenting both the war and Mr. Lincoln's death.

I purchased this book for my second grader. Sometimes it is hard to tell without seeing a golden book whether it is for a 4 year old or an 8 year old. This is appropriate for my second grader to read and comprehend on his own, but not too easy. It has several sentences to a page, instead of one short phrase or sentence like many will have. It is accurate and has nice photos as well. It does not address the assassination, but instead says "Sadly, Abe died before the United States was fully united in peace." A good basic historically correct book about Abraham Lincoln for a school age child.

Great content, colors and illustrations are awesome and the information about President Lincoln is easy to understand for children

Bought for my 6 week old son Lincoln's first 4th of July. Building his book collection.

Easy to read to grandkids!

Its a book

My soon to be five year old is obsessed with American history after a recent trip to Washington, DC. This book is perfect for him. He can read many of the words, and I read the rest. This book doesn't really cover Lincoln's assassination graphically, if you are concerned about that. We love Little Golden Books in my home, and this is a great addition to our collection.

This book is super cute! I had gotten his for a children's literature class I took in college and everyone loved it. The pictures are beautiful and the story is well written. It does however skip over the part where he was assassinated, they just say he passed away. But other than that it was very informative.

Good, but no mention of his assassination, which was a huge part of the story
