Abraham Lincoln (DK Biography)

6 reviews
Tanya Lee Stone

DK CHILDREN, 2005

An excellent, illustrated intermediate biography of Abraham Lincoln
I just finished reading "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin and am in frame of mind to be spending more time reading about Abraham Lincoln. Tanya Lee Stone's volume for the DK Biography series is "A photographic story of a life," but that does not mean young readers are going to be confronted with just photographs and captions (although such books about Lincoln certainly exist). Her ...

Viking Juvenile, 2008

Great Biography
I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter, and she loved it. I agree with the starred review from Kirkus, and thought that the writing was clear and age-appropriate. I remembered that the author included information about the foundation in the book, went back and checked, and did find some info on 172-173 about the foundation. Both my daughter and I learned lots of new information about ...

A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl

A "Bad Boy" Book Can Be Good for a Girl, Too!
A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl is only the second verse novel that I've read (after Hugging the Rock by Susan Taylor Brown). And I have to say that if these two books are at all representative, then I'm completely hooked. I love the combination of a fast-paced, streamlined read with wonderful language selection. I read Bad Boy in one sitting, and didn't want it to end. I read the end ...

D Is for Dreidel

Tanya Lee Stone

Price Stern Sloan, 2002

Gender Neutral Pictures, HOORAY!
What I love about this book is that it's not girls in the kitchen cooking and Daddy praying. Both men and women in the book (sometimes) wear kippot. Oddly the rabbi seems to be wearing his tallis to dinner, but I'll trade that for the usual gender-biased books.
