Members Reviews:
Beautiful book
I love all the books in this series and this was no exception. Beautiful pictures and powerful words.
Lincoln book
Beautiful book, good for children to learn some of his different statements. That is ehat this book is. Don't think it is a book about Lincoln. A book of speeches he made.
Another winner from Doreen Rappaport and Kadir Nelson!
I bought this book because I love both the illustrator and the author. Nelson's illustrations never cease to amaze me - I often think of cutting them out and them in my house!! "Abe's Honest Words" definitely measures up toMartin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., also by Rappaport. I love the unique perspective that she brings to these well known historical figures. My husband used this book to teach a lesson on integrity to his third grade class and it was well received - can't wait to use this one in my fifth grade classroom as well!
Must Have!
Children are facinated with our presidents who were assasinated, and they really enjoy reading about Abraham Lincoln, the president who was instrumental in freeing the slaves.
This book has beautiful illustrations and is written really well. Add to this Lincoln's own words, and it becomes a 'must have'. I read this book aloud to 21 first graders and you could have heard a pin drop. They hung on every word. They were allowed to ask questions when finished, and these youngsters had many questions, ranging from inacuracies they had heard- to,"What happened to the man who killed Abraham Lincoln?" Great book!!
She loved it.
I gave this to a 7 year old who likes to read about presidents. She loved it.
