(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Wimmer. This picture book biography spans Abraham Lincoln's life, emphasizing his passion for books, learning, and sharing knowledge. The first-person narrative is both an asset (for the strong voice) and a liability (for the potential confusion caused by fictionalizing Lincoln's thoughts yet still using direct quotes). Full-page, earth-toned oil paintings extend the simple text. The Gettysburg Address is appended. Bib.
