Here are the<br>extraordinary lives of Abraham and Mary, from their disparate childhoods and tumultuous courtship, through the agony of the Civil War, to the loss of three of their children, and finally their own tragic deaths. Readers can find Mary&#8217;s recipe for Abraham&#8217;s favorite cake&#8212;and bake it themselves; hear what Abraham looked like as a toddler; see a photo of the Lincolns&#8217; dog; discover that the Lincoln children kept goats at the White House; see the Emancipation Proclamation written in Lincoln&#8217;s own hand. Perfect for reluctant readers as well as history lovers, <i>The Lincolns </i>provides a living breathing portrait of a man, a woman, and a country. 3001212 14 10 2008 The Lincolns: A Scrapbook Look at Abraham and Mary total:87|5:46|4:32|3:6|2:2|1:1| 87 381 176 38 5 3 false false Sun May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 02:01:25 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 07:48:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 20:14:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 20:15:30 -0700 2009 ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 11 12:32:33 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 08:06:42 -0800 2009 *Starred Review* Using the same innovative scrapbook format employed in Ben Franklin’s Almanac (2003) and Our Eleanor (2005), Fleming offers another standout biographical title, this time twining accounts of two lives—Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln—into one fascinating whole....more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Dec 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 16:45:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 11:19:12 -0800 2008 ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 13 08:40:56 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 08:48:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Mar 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 10:40:08 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 06:16:01 -0800 2009 After three weeks, I've picked The Lincolns up again and read ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Dec 05 05:56:06 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 05:56:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jan 19 15:04:27 -0800 2009 Thu Sep 24 10:27:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 22 11:48:58 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 01 10:53:19 -0800 2009
