This book is not only striking to the eye but very interesting as well. It really makes learning about Abe fun for kids. There is a lot of information embedded in the story of the book. The only part I was concerned about was how true some of the events were. I know the main ideas were correct but wondered how accurate the storyline was. It was fun to read about a great leader in this nations past and find out he did some of the same things I did when I was a boy, it almost makes you feel as if anything is possible.
