Industry Reviews
"Closing with a more complete capsule biography and a substantial bibliography, this puts Lincoln in proper historical perspective, but more unusually, provides insight into the personal qualities that made him one of our greatest chief executives."

"St. George...uses a folksy, conversational style...She chose incidents from Lincoln's life that will help children understand the man he became, demonstrating an early awareness of the feelings of others and a desire for fairness. She also emphasizes how family members...helped Lincoln to achieve his potential."
