    Hi there…my 6yo son is very interested in the Civil War so I’m looking for some good, simple books. Any suggestions? Even something slightly above this level would be good.

    Thanks!

    I am thinking of good, children books about Abraham Lincoln.  Maybe the one by D’Aulaire: 

    http://www.bfbooks.com/Abraham-Lincoln-Ingri-Edgar-Daulaire_2  There are so many good Lincoln books and audio programs like Your Story Hour and one 2-part episode of Adventures in Odyssey called Lincoln I and II.

    Are there any civil war sights around you that you could visit, or Linoln sights?  If you can’t go there, you might be able to visit some of their websites.

    Most of these are above his level, but here goes:

    David Adler. Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln; Picture Book of Robert E. Lee

    If you can find these magazines:

    Cobblestone, Dec. 1999: Children in the Civil War

    Cobblestone, Oct. 1995: Ulysses S. Grant

    Appleseeds, April 2003: Children in the Civil War (I wrote the article about Vicksburg)

    If you have access to EBSCO databases through your library, you can access the articles individually.

    My son enjoyed If You Lived at the Time of the Civil War.
