The National Geographic Reader: Abraham Lincoln book is a great read for children of all ages. I initially bought this book to teach my fourth grade students text features (which this book basically has them all) and ended up learning a lot of new about Abraham Lincoln. My students were able to identify many of the text features on their own, because they are easy to find. I would highly recommend this book to all teachers, and the fact that it is AR testable makes this book even better.
My 1st grader had a book report to do on an assigned American Hero, and this was his assignment. I think this book is well put together and has some interesting facts, however there is a large portion dedicated to the civil war and slavery. I felt like this material was above what a first grader can really comprehend even though it was put into the most simple terms possible. I also don't think first graders have any business doing book reports though. If I were to do it again I think I'd just print out some information from online and let him use that as the material for his report. You certainly can find a wealth of information online and this skims the surface.
Great book! My son had to do a biography book report and wasn't thrilled about it. But I bought him this book and he actually got into it! He enjoyed reading it and got a lot of neat facts for his report. And he even enjoyed doing his book report. He is on a 2nd to beginning 3rd grade reading level.
I've been giving the National Geographic books series for kids five stars, but this one will get four stars. The content is great, except I had to block out the assassination part with a sticky note so my kids wouldn't see it. With the gun violence we're currently experiencing in our country, I do have to warn that this book shouldn't be shown to children as young as 6, in my honest opinion. If you're a teacher, be prepared for questions -- and I mean TONS of questions!
I bought this for a first grader going into second grade. It was easy reading with lots of pictures. It is paperback so easy take along in the car. An added bonus: He may learn something beyond video games.
My K has really gotten into history lately. I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book for him. It explained things simply and was a great length. He read it all my himself and is hungry for more. PLEASE NAT GEO keep them coming!
This is a wonderfully written bio for young readers. Full of lots of interesting facts about Abraham Lincoln and the time period which he lived in.
My son is learning about presidents in school and this book hits the highlights about President Lincoln that are perfect for retention at his age. Highly recommend.
