Abraham Lincoln (Bicentennial Edition) by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire is a great biography book for young children. It's informative, yet easy to understand for a young readers.

I thought the book had great illustrations, and was a great portrayal of Abe's life. The story starts out with Abe as a young boy, which I think will appeal to children because they get to see the main character as a child himself. The story highlights all of the main points of Abe's life, and gives a great briefing of all of the general information that young children need to know.

This book would be an excellent story to read to a younger class. It could easily be incorporated into a theme about presidents or just historical figures.

This book is about Abraham Lincoln life. It starts out Lincoln as a baby in Kentucky. Abe went to school and learn to read and write at the age of six. They moved to Indiana because in was getting crowed in Kentucky. He was always kind. His mother died and his dad remarried. Lincoln hated slavery even when he was younger. Lincoln grew to be very tall. Lincoln study law and was successful. He married Little Miss Todd and had three kids. ( )
