Lincoln and Kennedy: A Pair to Compare

40 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | June, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9945-4 $17.99
(4) K-3 This comparison of two presidencies points out many uncanny similarities. Some sophisticated language (e.g., charismatic, abdominal distress) may prove challenging, though the large, colorful illustrations help with comprehension. Overall, this is an interesting offering, but equating the Civil War with the Cold War doesn't quite work, and characterizing Kennedy as carrying on Lincoln's fight for civil rights is misleading. Bib., glos.
