     This biography tells the life of Abraham Lincoln as a story. While it begins by telling about Lincoln's childhood and ends with the story of his death, it is very vague. This book is similar to an outline of Lincoln's life. It has ink and water-colored illustrations, which I found kept the book interesting. The lack of detail during the events of Lincoln's life makes the book less interesting, in my opinion. This would a good book to read to very young students to explain in a simpler way about what Lincoln did for the United States. At the end of the book there is a timeline of important dates in Lincoln's life. I think this is a great addition to the book.
