"Jablonski's fact-filled biography of Abraham Lincoln is an informative, insightful, and entertaining read that will have kids turning the pages as they learn his important and inspiring story.

Her well-researched book is filled with rich back matter, including a glossary, test yourself questions, interactive graphics and maps, and "think tanks" that encourage readers to visualize his life and to make deeper connections. I am excited to put this book on my library shelf, and I know that it is going to be popular with my elementary students." --Soline Holmes, Librarian at Academy of the Sacred Heart

Review Quotes:
"One thing that really impressed me about this installment in the youth biography series is the thought that went into the Think Tank questions. Throughout the book, at least once per chapter, a Think Tank question encourages critical, creative, and empathetic thinking from the reader. This is an amazing tool to help children to engage with the text beyond the words on the page!" --Jen K.
