Abraham Lincoln

This is the inspiring story of one of our most beloved presidents, from his birth in Kentucky in 1809 to his life in Washington and the end of the Civil War. The fascinating, detailed text and the beautiful illustrations combine to make this Caldecott Medal-winning book a visual treat and learning experience.

There is nothing tentative about ones response to this book. It is love at first sight... the book has a thrilling quality. As for childrens appreciation, we believe that they too will be stirred by the sincerity of these pictures and text. Library Journal

This book will probably be considered primarily in connection with its illustrations but its true distinction... lies in the high standard it sets in the field of biography for children under ten. It is a rounded and well-proporioned outline of Lincoln life which the dAulaire have given us, in an easy-running text unclouded by sentimentality. The New York Times

Italian Edgar Parin dAulaire and Norwegian Ingri Morterson met at art school in Munich and shortly after their marriage, moved to the United States. They published more than fifteen well-know books for children, one of which, dAulaire Book of Greek Myths.

Please Note

The additional readers for the LLATL Red Book are the 'picture books' for you to read to your child throughout the programme. Once you've read one of these picture book stories to your child, then he/she will do an activity based on that story in their student workbook.

Once your child has finished the reading programme, he/she will be able to read those same "additional readers" which you read to them during the teaching process. I found that my children had favorites from these readers after having read to them. They would later read the books themselves and we would also use them as reference books for illustration/art examples.
