Review title: Inappropriate for little ones
Product review: As others have pointed out, the book is not a story per se, but rather a combination of facts about Lincoln and the time in which he lived. That being said, several of the facts included in the book are inappropriate for early elementary-aged children. Slave auctions, Civil War, assassination, etc. Granted, these are significant aspects of Abe Lincoln's life, but there is no need to include passages like the one detailing Lincoln's assassination in a book geared towards 4-8 year olds. Additionally, the illustrations leave a lot to be desired. In several of the pictures, Lincoln looks like he's Chinese. You have perhaps the most iconic presidents and you can't even depict him in the correct manner. The assassination pages shows Booth pointing a pistol at the back of Lincoln's head. Seriously? The publisher thought this is what 5 year olds should be seeing/reading? Don't waste your money on this book.
