Lincoln: A Photobiography by Russell Freedman

My favorite Lincoln book is too hard for a fourth grader.  Do you like pictures?  Russell Freedman takes old pictures of Lincoln, and then tells the story of Lincoln’s life around the picture.  Want to watch Abraham Lincoln’s beard grow?  Russell Freedman shows you how.  The best way to read this book is to find a picture you like, then read about it.  This book won the Newbery medal.    If you like Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War,  this is the book for you.   Mr. Frerichs.

We have two copies of this book in the Bardonia library.  Photo credit:  Lincoln Photograph by Matthew Brady,  Brady Collection, American Memory, Library of Congress,
