5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh, beautifully illustrated, and lively: a classic, May 7, 1999
This famous book on Abraham Lincoln (emphasizing his growing up) by the great children's book authors, the d'Aulaires, is as fresh as ever. A sparkling cover. Fascinating and charming illustrations, based on their own visit to the locations. Clear, absorbing text. Deserves it's fame. A wonderful introduction. Great fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Book!, November 11, 2008
This is a terrific book that should be part of a home library and would be enjoyed by children of multiple levels. This is definitely a more extensive history than that of many "children's" books. The omission of the end of Lincoln's life may be considered a plus to some parents who are not ready to share that part or a disapointment to those who desire a more complete biography.

It's unfortunate that the negative reviewer suffers from the "politically correct" and "revisionist" history taught in modern times.

4.0 out of 5 stars A biography of Lincoln for young children., May 9, 1999
By A Customer
This is a children's book about the life of Abraham Lincoln. First written and illustrated in 1939, it was expanded in 1957. Most of the book focuses on Lincoln's early life. The illustrations resulted in the book being awarded the 1940 Caldecott Medal for best illustrations in a children's book. It is a book that helps children learn more about U.S. history and a great president. It is also a book that should be on the shelf of any serious student of children literature.

About 20% of this book is worthwhile reading. The other 80% remains historically inaccurate, mythological, or downright offensive. But I get ahead of myself. Read more
