Lincoln and Douglass: an American Friendship



Giovanni, Nikki. Lincoln and Douglass: an American Friendship. Henry Holt: 2008. ISBN: 9780805082647.

Lincoln and Douglas: an American Friendship is a story about President Abraham Lincoln and his friend Frederick Douglass and their history together. The artwork in the book reminded me of a collage. Close to the end of the book are pages that fold out to show a battle between the soldiers of the North and South. I liked this book because it explained the main topic and told about the history of Lincoln and Douglass. My favorite part was when they met again during the Civil War. I would recommend this book to kids in grades 3, 4 and 5.
