"#44 in the Magic Tree House series. You've gotta love books about Lincoln and his boys. I loved how this one also allowed the readers to meet Abraham Lincoln as a young boy who enjoyed playing tricks on others!!"
— Jodi (5 out of 5 stars)
" Really great book to read aloud as a family! Kids got a lot out of it. Prompted great discussions. Highly engaging. "
— Kate, 2/20/2014" My kiddo's loved this book. "
— Annell, 2/16/2014" Great children's book. Annie and jack must get to see mr. Lincoln. Through a little magic and/or time travel they are able to provide a message of hope to the President. "
— Laura, 1/17/2014" Learn many new things that I known before. "
— Thi, 1/7/2014" Jack and Annie are in for a surprise when they have to meet Abe Lincoln to solve their latest puzzle and help a friend. "
— Chris, 1/1/2014" First Jack and Annie don't know that Tad and Willie, two boys they've met on the White House lawn, are President Lincoln's sons. Then they don't understand that "Sam," a boy they meet in the countryside, is really a young Abraham Lincoln. However, all comes out right in the end when Lincoln gives the time traveling pair a feather they need to complete their mission, and they in turn give him a written message of hope. Children will need to read the nonfiction companion rather than this to learn facts about Lincoln, but it does provide a glimpse into Lincoln's diligent and inquisitive nature as a boy and his devotion to his family and to his country as an adult. "
— blmagm, 1/1/2014" This is a good book because it has some information on Abraham Lincoln. It also has pictures sometimes which is nice to get a better idea of what is happening in the book. "
— Rachel, 1/1/2014" nice continuation of the series. it lead to some good discussion about slavery and Abraham Lincoln around our house. "
— Jess, 12/27/2013" A serviceable entry in a popular series. "
— Anne-Marie, 12/25/2013" I had never read one of the Magic Tree House books (this is #47) written for early readers. I was delighted. Osborne integrates history for children in a fantasy story-line. "
— Karen, 12/13/2013" Another nice entry in the Magic Tree House series. I thought the book might include some Civil War stuff, but it was more focused on Lincoln himself and his life. "
— Elizabeth, 12/12/2013" Trying to catch up on the Magic Tree house series. I was a little surprised there was time travel within time travel in this book and without the tree house for the second time. "
— K.C., 12/11/2013" To be able to go back in time and meet Abe Lincoln...that would be amazing. I like how Jack and Annie meet him as an adult and then as a child. Very well written. "
— Culleen, 12/7/2013" Again another good book in the series. I keep reading and enjoying them though they are far too simple for me or my students. However, I am invested in the series and want to keep reading to be sure that each new mystery is solved and not left hanging. "
— Candice, 12/2/2013" This was one of my least favorite in the series. Limited historical information, and the kids didn't seem nearly as intelligent as they did in others I have read. "
— Maria, 11/21/2013" Cute addition to the series. Nice touch to have the kid visit a youthful Abe Lincoln. "
— Christina, 3/22/2013" Jack and Annie are awesome "
— Shaurya, 1/1/2013" it was a very good book. "
— Mary, 8/19/2012" Book 47 in this series. Loved this one just like the others. If you haven't tried the seires out, it's wonderful. Give it a read. "
— Mellodi, 8/8/2012" See the first book in the series for a full review. "
— Jessica, 8/2/2012" latest Magic Tree House book with Jack and Annie and featuring Abe Lincoln. Jack and Annie travel to Washington DC as the Civil War is going on. They are trying to get an item for an ongoing story line in the series when they meet the President. "
— Sandybear76, 7/23/2012" That it was a good book and it had nice characters in it (Tad was funny)! It had a good prank in it. It had a nice ending. The mission was cool! I learned that you should always help others. "
— Calum, 6/4/2012" The book is funny to me because they woke up two ours before they had to get on the bus. "
