This book is about the sixteen president of the United Sates, Abraham Lincoln. He was born in a poor family and lived in a simple house in Kentucky. Growing up, he worked hard by clearing timber, burning brush, milking cows, and churning butter, etc. He loved reading and never stopped reading. He became a lawyer, honest lawyer. He was a peacemaker and believed freedom and union. As a president of the United States, he spoke and worked diligently to settle equality within the country.

I really like this book. Kids might need to learn some vocabulary written in the book, but all the vocabulary is educational and good for them to learn. They can generally learn about Abraham Lincoln by reading this book, who he was, why he has been admired by many people, and what he did. When you turn pages, you will see each left page has pictures that help readers to understand the meaning of the texts and also to keep it in memory.
