Book Review by Steve L.

Abraham Lincoln by Tanya Lee Stone

This book is a biography of the entire life of Abraham Lincoln, from the time he was born to his assassination by John Wilkes Booth. With nice illustrations and fact boxes and easy to read, it is a very interesting book about the life of one of America's favorite Presidents. Did you know that one of Lincoln's first official jobs was being a lawyer? And did you know that Abraham Lincoln was elected President three times? And did you know he died just 4 days after the end of the civil war? I give this book 10 out of 10.

Steve, did you get from the book why the Civil War was fought? Did Lincoln want the war?
