[LM_NET] Share: MID: Lincoln Shot! by Barry Denenberg

[Brenda Kahn <labsnbooks@AOL.COM>]

I'm sorry for not posting this a bit earlier, but I just wanted to 
share the response that an eighth grade social studies class had to 
this amazing book. The students were completely intrigued by it and 
groups jockeyed for position to pore over the articles and pictures. 
The assignment was for groups to present either a skit or PowerPoints 
highlighting Lincoln's life and death. The teacher was so pleased with 
the enthusiasm and creativity of the kids. She shared the PowerPoints 
with me and apologized for not getting me down to see the skits. While 
she did have other print biographies of Lincoln's life available, the 
hands-down star of the show was Denenberg's Lincoln Shot!

If you haven't seen it (it has received a fair number of starred 
reviews), do take a look at it and don't be intimidated by its large 
size. It is well worth the investment. When my two copies come back to 
the library, one will most likely reside open on the atlas stand and 
one on a display stand.
