"Dated biography of Abraham Lincoln that felt kind of glossed or fictionalized to me. Among other things, Lincoln's young adulthood in this story makes him seem an awful lot like Paul Bunyan. The story ends with the end of the Civil War, and since Lincoln's death wasn't very long after that, it felt strange and abrupt to end the story there. I have fond childhood memories of a D'Aulaire book chronicling Greek mythology, but this one leaves me unimpressed."
I have always loved the d'Aulaire's books. I'm pretty sure this isn't actually the best biography of Lincoln out there, but I do so enjoy their illustrations."
"I cried at the end of this children's book. What a great man! I knew a lot about him already, but learned even more in this illustrated biography. My kids really liked it too. I would like to buy this book as well as some of the author's other books. She has written several biobraphies for children. (Just keep in mind when you read this that it is an over-view for children and not a complete list of accomplishments.)"
