Abe Lincoln’s Hat Free Printable

ByCarolyn Wilhelm

This post has a short review of and a free printable for Abe Lincoln’s Hat by Martha Brenner, which is illustrated by Donald Cook.

This book is considered an easy reader for the step 3 Step into Reading series by Random House.  It is easy to read but also does a  remarkable job of telling the story of President Abraham Lincoln.  I always admire stories that use few words and manage to say so much.  The facts in this nonfiction book are presented in a child-centered manner that students will remember.  I say this with confidence, because once I read this book as a fall read aloud and put it down without questioning the children or doing a follow up activity.

I thought we would complete a more complete study of our Presidents in February.  Months later at a conference, parents remarked how impressed they were with all their child knew about Lincoln!  I actually hardly remembered reading the book to the class. But the parents told me all the facts remembered by the child, and then I was impressed.  After that, I was sure to include this book with some Lincoln activities. I made sure to never skip this story, and found students did remember the information well.
