Description
Publisher's Description of Honest Abe
Yes, Abraham Lincoln was honest. But he had many other sides to his personality. The self-taught Lincoln was one of our most multitalented and complicated presidents -- he is, for example, the only U.S. president to hold a patent for an invention! This biography of Lincoln is in the fun comix format for reluctant readers and the social studies teachers who need to educate on slavery and the Civil War, but this book also uses a different adjective on each page to teach the importance of character and to allow literacy experts to explore the importance of adjectives as descriptive tools.
