Abraham Lincoln by Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire
2.0
1940 Caldecott Winner
I think it was okay. I found it a bit dull overall. I also think that his death needed to be there and they avoided it entirely. The book showed him in only a good light. I understand they were trying to make it appropriate for young children, but the guy had to have flaws too. It seemed he was almost a larger than life hero if this book is the only one you read.
