RE: Lincoln's Citadel
Eva, ....I don't even have 100.
My interest in Lincoln and the assassinatin was rekindled last year. Priot to that, I had a couple of shelves of Lincoln and Civil War books. Since then I've been trying to catch up for time lost in reading and learning. The people on this web site are really responable. They have made the learning fun, so much knowledge, the respect and appreciation for history. I could go on and on, if I could find the right words, but most of you understand the feelings. So far in the children/young adult books my favorites are Abraham Lincoln - Greatest of Good Men by U J Hoffman written in 1926 and Lincoln's Animal Friends by Ruth Painter Randall. I just started purchasing a few of these. There are several older on-line books I am looking forward to reading. On the adult side, two new favorites that I read for the first time last year were the biographies of Lincon and Stanton, both written by Benjamin Thomas. They are both over 50 years old, but still very good. The picture is by Travis Louie. I found it looking on the internet for something else, I don't think it's from a children's book. His work has a humorous touch. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Lincoln's Citadel
You've worded it pretty well. I, too, appreciate the "input" I get here (makes me often awestruck), and all the book recommendations. From what you told I would love to read "Lincoln's animal friends" (but it's not even listed as "temporarily out of stock" on our Amazon site, so it's unlikely I'll get it).

RE: Lincoln's Citadel
Keep checking back and try Barnes & Noble and ABEbooks.com
You are in Germany? I have no idea how much mailing a copy from here would be. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

Here's a copy, but you might have to sell your animal friends to be able to afford it.

Maybe, because I work with kindergartners and have two five-year-old grandsons, what I am attracted to is more picture books than actual children's texts? Two that I sort of fell in love with at one of our book fairs last year were: Looking at Lincoln by Maira Kalman, and Abe Lincoln's Dream by Lane Smith. |
