Abe's Honest Words

I Solemnly Swear I Am Up to No Good,

Abe's Honest Words: The Life Of Abraham Lincoln by Doreen Rappaport

Oh my goodness, I really loved this children's biography! It is one of the most beautifully illustrated books I've ever seen! It was a biography completely about Lincoln's life and his affect on the change in slavery and how he ran things as president. I know the most appealing part to me was the pictures and the quotes from Lincoln on every set of pages! It was definitely an entertaining read and I definitely recommend it!

I think this book is more of a read for about the upper elementary age group. I think this because it is quite a bit more reading than some children would like and some of the words are a little more dense than what younger elementary children enjoy reading and I think they would get turned off by it. I do think the upper elementary children would really enjoy this book! It's not necessarily an entertaining title that pulls you in, but the illustrations are really amazing! They're so real! My favorite part is definitely the quotes from Lincoln because it really gives you a view into how he was! Definitely a good read!

Mischief Managed.
