Summary:
Honest Abe is a story about Abraham Lincoln and his early years up until he was assassinated during his presidency. The story takes the reader from the time he was born and how his parents were not able to read or write, to him being a successful lawyer He was nicknamed "honest Abe" because of how truthful he was. The story recalls the time he was paid back a little too much and he walked a few miles to find her to return the change. The book ends with him being buried and it talks about how he had 10 funerals. Abraham Lincoln was a great guy who was loved by many.
In my classroom, I would use this book for a social studies unit where we talk about different presidents and their life. With this book, I would have the students do a research project to find out different facts and then present it to the class.
I would use this book in a 3rd through a 4th-grade class. I think that age group would be perfect because they can value and understand history a bit more.
