Abraham Lincoln

by Ingri & Edgar Parin d'Aulaire

Read November 2008

This book is a bit long and tedious for a young child, but is a very interesting insight into the life of Abraham Lincoln.

I would recommend this book for older children.  My 7 year-old enjoyed it, but my 5 year-old fell asleep 3 times.

I don't recall the exact number of pages, but it is more than the average young child can deal with...it's pretty long.

This book won the Caldecott Honor in 1940.
