4.0 out of 5 starsFifth grade book review
By B. Baldwin on February 25, 2010
Format: Hardcover
Lincoln and his boys is a book about Abraham Lincoln before and after he was president of the United States. My favorite part in the book is at the end when all the freed slaves come together thanking Abraham Lincoln.I would totally recommend this book! (Haley)

I just finished reading Lincoln and His Boys.It was about Lincoln running for the president.The book had lots of detail.Lincoln took Tad almost everywhere he went.Then they moved to Washington D.C..Then Willy and Tad got the fever after being there for a while.Willy died and he was the youngest brother to. Everybody was sad mostly his mom she always wore black once he died she would always cry to.Then they won the Civil War.It is a very good book and I think everybody should read it. (Sabrina)

The book Lincoln and His Boys is a dramatic,funny book.One of my favorite parts was when the Civil War ended.The reason i liked that part is because everyone was happy and celebrating the end of the Civil War.One of my least favorite parts was when Willie died.Willie is one of Abraham Lincoln's son.Taddie is the other son,and Bon is the oldest son.Another one of my least favorite parts was when the Civil War began.The reason that was one of my least favorite part is because Abraham Lincoln seemed so depressed.I think that this book was probably one of my favorite books.It was a great book ! (Christina)

I think Lincoln And His Boys is a very heart warming story. The plot of the book is that Abraham Lincoln started out as running for President against a man named Mr. Douglas. Lincoln has a wife and a couple of kids. They start out as a farm family and then Lincoln runs again as President. Abraham Lincoln wins the election. Now his family and himself was very happy and knew their life was bound to change.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsClearly the Best...
By Portianay VINE VOICE on January 6, 2010
Format: Hardcover
.. .choice for demonstrating to the young reader of either gender the toll that the heartache and pressures of the Civil War took on Lincoln. To the reviewer who complains that this is somehow so fictionalized it is "not fair" to the young reader--huh? The author even includes a note at the end explaining her documentation. Nitpicking away at the sterling quality of this book is what is not fair, in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 starsLincoln, Family Man
By Ginny Mapes VINE VOICE on October 18, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Rosemary Wells researched the life of Lincoln. (See video on her website.) She found it amazing that a man raised in conditions which today we would consider abusive, could turn out to be such a loving and caring family man himself. She shows his life with his sons in a very up-close, personal way. Very enjoyable reading for the classroom or family setting.

5.0 out of 5 starsA loving portrait of a father and sons
By a reader on October 17, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful chapter book about Abe Lincoln, and his sons, Willie and Tad. It centers first on Willie, and then after Willie's death, upon Tad. Each boy's personality and their brotherly interactions are fully explored, as are their romps in the White House, and disturbances during Lincoln's cabinet meetings. The colorful illustrations are full of love, mischief, and character. An excellent book to read aloud to your children.

5.0 out of 5 starsStellar Book
By Mom&Librarian on February 2, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I absolutely love this book. I believe Ms. Wells captures the sweet relationship President Lincoln had with his boys, and their fondness for him. He is already known as a very human president, but I believe this to be a worthy addition to the books written about his personal legacy. Oh, it's called a children's book, but it's for everybody.

5.0 out of 5 starsA sweet little read for adults & children!
By L. West on October 31, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I saw this book on the library shelf as a Beehive Book Award Nominees for the State of Utah. Not only did I read it, but then I bought it! I think it's deserving of the nomination. It is a sweet, little read (just under 100 pages) with beautiful illustrations written from the perspective of Lincoln's loving yet sassy son's, Tad and Willie. My 13 year-old daughter also read it and now I am reading it to my 5 year old. Whether you are a Lincoln fan, a history buff or interested in a cute story from the eyes of a child, I recommend this book.

This is a beautiful book. I knew Lincoln was cool, but I had no idea how cool. I loved the voice and the way Wells fleshed out real facts to tell such a wonderful story.
