Lincoln: A Photobiography Audiobook

" Begins by talking about Lincoln's humble background. Talks about how Lincoln was a funny guy, but he also suffered from depression. Lincoln was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. "

" Won the Newbery. A great book for the history fan just learning about the American Civil War. "

" The beginning is great. It was appealing and interesting. I thought it dragged on towards the end, though. "

" This is a fantastic book about Abraham Lincoln. I learned so many neat little details about him. Teachers could use this book to teach their students several things about Abraham Lincoln and keep them engaged and excited about history. "

" Great book if your child ever has to do a paper on Abraham Lincoln. Lots of info, pictures and still quite an easy and an interesting read. "

" This nonfiction book won a newbery honor. I've read it before, but brought it in with a collection of books for my 8th graders who are reading literature (and non-fiction) set in the Civil War period. "

" If I recall correctly, I read this in the fifth grade. I selected this one as my biography. Enough text for a youngster, but most of the tale is told through the pictures and captions. Again: if I recall correctly.... "

" Probably the best nonfiction book for children/young adults I have read to date. "

" Really well done. I thought, given it's a Newbery, it might be over-simplified or that the language would be dumbed-down but I was very pleasantly surprised. It made me appreciate Lincoln so much more for his accomplishments, adversity and integrity. "

" I thought this biography beautifully designed and written for its targeted age group. Engaging, informative, great job of summarizing the politics of the time. Plenty of photos, political cartoons etc. break up the text. "

" Awesome, inspiring! I always knew I liked Lincoln. Now I remember why. "

" Any book that entices someone to read it, is a book I want in my classroom library. The photos are really interesting for which so much can be talked about. The captions only make you want to read more. "

" A simple picture book that tells a story of the Abraham Licoln. The pictures are awesome for not only much discussion through photo analysis but also to have students connect a name with a face, aside from the traditional presidential pictures "

" A very approachable biography of Lincoln's life. I enjoyed the read and think adults and teens would benefit from reading it. "

" Another great biography by this author. I think Freedman writes in a way that really gives you a feel for the person. Simple enough for kids, and informative enough that adults can learn something too. "

" 1988 Newberry Medal winner. It was a great, age appropriate biography of a great president. The pictures are amazing for the time period. "

" Gag. This man was not perfect. "

" The title pretty much says it all. Are you at all interested in Abraham Lincoln? I don't even have to sell you this book. THE TITLE DOES THE WORK FOR ME. I do think the phrase "photobiography" is a bit misleading. I was expecting, like, five thousand times more photos. "

" I enjoyed the book very much- so did my dad. He read the whole thing during their last visit. I've always been a fan of Lincoln...and picture books. Great book for the age group. "

" Loved this book!!!! I always knew that Lincoln was considered a "simple" man, but I think he was simple in an extraordinary way! Great book, great pictures, all around great read! "

" This book gives vast information on the life of Abraham Lincoln. It shows how he was a great president to some people and a bad president to other people. I like how it gives a lot of information on his child hood even though nobody knew him when he was a child. "

" As a future teacher, I recommend this book to everyone! It was an inspiring biography, and you can have a lot of discussion about the pictures. If you do buy the book though, try and get it hardcover. I got the book from the bookstore paperback and the cover already came off. Excellent read! "
