What Lincoln Said by Sarah L. Thompson

Thomson, Sarah L. What Lincoln Said, illustrated by James E. Ransome. HarperCollins, 2009. PICTURE BOOK. Using quotes from the great man himself, Thomson gives us a quick look at the early life of Lincoln, up to the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. While, I like how Thomson interweaves Lincoln’s quotes, I am not too enthralled by the illustrations, nor the brevity of the book. This might be good for very young students who are just learning about the president for the first time. EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
