Abe Lincoln: The Boy Who Loved Books

40 pp. | Simon | January, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82554-4 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. This picture book biography emphasizes young Abe's love of learning, which made him ill suited to the rough physical lifestyle of the frontier. Although the text is laid out like free-verse poetry, it reads like prose, and the lively oil paintings, which glow with outdoorsy shades of yellow and orange, add humor. An author's note offers additional facts about Lincoln's adulthood and presidency. Bib.
Reviewer: Anne St. John
