Ok everyone, please I need book suggestions. My 6 year old loves A. Lincoln. We will be touring Springfield IL in August and I would love some living books to read to her on the hour drive there and at night around the campfire. We have L is for Lincoln (the IL state alphabet book) and she loves it.

TIA

Abraham Lincoln by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire is our favorite book about him!

A few others I remembered: A Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln by David Adler

L is for Lincoln An Illinois Alphabet by Kathy-jo Wargin

An old thread that might be useful: Lincoln and Washington

ETA: OOPS! I realized you posted the alphabet book already! Sorry

Considering the upcoming Lincoln bicentennial (1809-2009) which is getting lots of attention this is a great topic to cover. Here are some picture books we have enjoyed that I don't think have been mentioned yet.

Abe Lincoln Remembers - Ann Turner (Wendall Minor's illlustrations are wonderful)

Vinnie and Abraham- Dawn Fitzgerald

Abraham Lincoln: Sixteenth President – Mike Venezia

If You Grew Up with Abraham Lincoln - Ann McGovern

Mr. Lincoln’s Whiskers - Karen Winnick

When Abraham talked to Trees - Elizabeth Steenwyk

Cheryl Harness has two, covering different periods of his life:
Young Abe Lincoln
Abe Lincoln Goes to Washington

I haven't seen this one yet - it comes out this summer. It looks good though. Abraham Lincoln Comes Home - Robert Burleigh

And it's not a book for read-aloud, but we have always enjoyed the Chicago Review Press "for Kids" books for activities - Abraham Lincoln for Kids.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations.

Yes, we are very excited about the bicentennial, we live a block from one of the stops he and Douglas made. Dd is looking forward to waching a reenactment of some debates.
