(4) K-3 Illustrated by James E. Ransome. Thomson weaves Lincoln's own words into her brief picture book biography, which focuses mostly on the sixteenth president's efforts to preserve the union and end slavery ("If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong"). Ransome's paintings exaggerate Lincoln's ears and height, making him larger than life yet oddly caricatured. No source notes are provided for quotations. Timeline.
