But to his rambunctious sons, Abraham Lincoln was above all a playful and loving father. Here is Lincoln as seen by two of his boys: Willie, thrilled to be on his first train trip when Lincoln was deciding to run for president; Willie and Tad barging into Cabinet meetings to lift Lincoln's spirits in the early days of the Civil War, Tad accompanying him to Richmond just after the South's defeat. With the war raging and the Union under siege, we see history unfolding through Willie's eyes and then through Tad's -- and we see Lincoln rising above his own inborn sadness and personal tragedy through his devotion to his sons. With evocative and engaging illustrations by P.J. Lynch, Rosemary Wells offers a carefully researched biography that gives us a Lincoln not frozen in time but accessible and utterly real.\u003cbr\u003eBack matter includes an author's note.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemary Wells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0763637238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763637231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.82h x 6.26w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e128679 \/ Lincoln and His Boys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Beehive Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Iowa Children's Choice (ICCA) Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/12\/2009 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2008 pg. 1312\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2009 - Recommended, Satisfactory","brand":"Rosemary Wells","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947102634239,"sku":"9780763637231","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c44a4a11-6079-4194-a359-26d7d7965eac.jpg?v=1681516728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lincoln-and-his-boys-rosemary-wells-9780763637231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
