About the Book:
From New York Times bestselling
author and news anchor Raymond Arroyo comes a fun picture book
biography of Tad Lincoln, his relationship with his father President
Abraham Lincoln, and a story about a parent’s love for his son and the
wisdom of a child. Part of the Turnabout Tales series that explores the
hidden, pivotal moments that define some of history’s greatest men and
women.
Tad Lincoln was forever getting into trouble. He
bounced around the White House making mischief and annoying almost
everyone but the president. Yet Tad was his father’s joy and comfort
amidst a brutal war, a family tragedy, and the toll of holding the
nation’s highest office. When Tad befriends a turkey meant to be
Thanksgiving dinner, his plea for the pet to be spared teaches Abe a
lesson about mercy. It also starts the tradition of the Thanksgiving
turkey pardon, a tradition that presidents carry on to this day.
My Review:
I love biographies. I have always loved them even as a little girl. Lincoln was always my favorite president to read about. I loved this book! So precious and I read it from cover to cover even the important facts in the back of the book. Its really neat to know our history and the history of the nation. Good or bad. Its just good to know. This story was very moving and I liked finding out more about the Thanksgiving holiday, white house style.
The book had some sad parts but it was mostly sweet and uplifting. It gives our children a really good look at the former president and and his family.
**Disclosure**This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher.
