Description
This very informative storybook contains many historical, factual, and political tidbits about Abraham Lincoln's life. With each letter of the alphabet, there are several words that begin with that letter, which include an informational paragraph about the mentioned word. For example, the letter “A" features the words amendment, aloud, autobiography, and ax—each word accompanied by an explanation of why and how Lincoln relates to that word. In addition to the paragraphs, there are many visually descriptive pictures which can tell a story on their own, but also relate to the included textual information on the page. There are also 1 – 3 quotes of Lincoln's included with each main alphabet letter. 30 pgs, pb.
Publisher's Description of Abe Lincoln: His Wit and Wisdom from A-Z
Abe Lincoln spoke many memorable adages. As the sixteenth president, he needed great wisdom to guide the country through the Civil War, preserve the Union, and end slavery. This nontraditional tribute to the president who brought the homespun demeanor and humor of his humble beginnings to the White House uses the alphabet to organize a wealth of information about his life and accomplishments. Filled with Lincoln's often humorous proverbs and witty cartoons by John O'Brien, this colorful book takes a thought-provoking look at Old Abe.
