- Honest Abe by Kunhardt - the artwork is very unusual, and Alexandra really enjoyed looking at the illustrations
- Abe Lincoln: The Boy Who Loved Books by Kay Winters & Nancy Carpenter
- Abe Lincoln's Hat (Step Into Reading) by Martha Brenner - funny, true story about how Abe Lincoln kept important papers in his hat
- A Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln by David A. Adler - one of our favorite series & favorite authors
- Abraham Lincoln and Presidents' Day (Let's Celebrate) by Joanne Barkan
- Abraham Lincoln: For the People (Discovery Biography) by Anne Colver - this book was quite a bit longer with 76 pages, but we enjoyed it so much that we read it in one setting! I will be checking out more from this series
- Abraham Lincoln video by Nest Entertainment - we LOVE these!
- The Gettysburg Address illustrated by Michael McCurdy. My daughter LOVES this speech! We've practiced reading it to each other. This has book has some really neat illustrations
- The Story of The Gettysburg Address by Kenneth Richards - this is a longer book, but we enjoyed it so much that we read it straight through. It does go more into the battle & has at least 3 photos of some dead soldiers. It helped us understand WHY Abraham Lincoln gave this speech & how important, and deadly, this battle was
- Duck for President by Doreen Cronin - this book isn't really about Abraham Lincoln, but on the last page there is a quote from the Gettysburg Address! We just happened to be reading this at the same time, and Alexandra was so excited to see it in this fun book!
