#47 Abraham Lincoln


Did you know that Abraham Lincoln lost two elections? Did you know that he only went to school for about a year? He loved to read, but he had hardly any books of his own - and when he worked as a manager of a general store he borrowed books from the town's school teacher?

This book will teach you many interesting facts about Abraham Lincoln. If you enjoy reading biographies, this series is one that you will want to check out. The chapters are short and easy to understand. There are lots of little pictures and images of documents that highlight the life of the main character. The back of the book has a nice timeline of the person's life. It also has many additional suggestions for books to read and places to visit. There is also a great index you can use to help you locate the important information.

If you like this series you will also find: Helen Keller, Lewis and Clark, Thomas Edison, Sitting Bull and many others in the biography section of our library.
