(4) K-3 Illustrated by Albert Lorenz. Previously published as A Three-Minute Speech: Lincoln's Remarks at Gettysburg, this is a lively recounting of events leading up to Lincoln's famous speech. Younger readers will find the story-behind-the-story interesting (including a section dispelling myths: e.g., the speech wasn't written on the back of an envelope). The historical background may be a bit long for some chapter-book readers to wade through. Websites. Bib.
