      SummaryThis book is very informational about Abe Lincoln. An early look at his career as a lawyer. He told jokes and stories while in court, He helped others when they asked him or wrote him.Personal Reaction:I found this book very interesting. I love the personal side of his important papers that were kept in his hat.Classroom Extension:1. I would have the students make a hat and write a letter to a family member. 2. I would have a mock trial in the classroom to show how the judicial system works

      I believe this was a good book because it was very kid friendly. If this book was read to children, I think that they would understand everything that Abe Lincoln did before he was president. It is strange to know that one of the best presidents started out as a lawyer and worked his way up to president.

Lincoln begins to use his hat to hold letters from people, and from these letters helps people in court. He begins his rise to fame through these court battles, and his stance on slavery. In the end we see Lincoln get elected president. This book shows a presidents rise to fame and incorporates a bit of humor through his attire.Teaching Ideas: Abe Lincoln, How to be elected president, Slavery

      this book is about how young Abe Lincoln became president and how the hat started it all for him. all of the stories in the book are based on true events. The hat was the most important thing that Abe owned because it made him remember the letters that he had to write back to his customers. he would stick them in the hat, and when we took the hat off, he would remember.

      This tells the story of how Lincoln was a lawyer and how gradually became president. On a more personal note, it adds that he was funny and kind spirited and kept his important papers in his hat.This was a cute biography, but I felt it didn't really flow.

      This quirky yet true explanation of why Abe Lincoln wore such a sizeable top hat uses this lighthearted approach to introduce young readers to the legacy of America's 16th President. Set primarily during his days as an Illinois lawyer, the book

      This book tells all about Abe Lincoln and his life, but it mainly focuses on the fact that he used his hat for everything. He could never remember to write people back, so he would put the letters in his hat so when he took it off he would see it.

      This is fun book about Abraham Lincoln. All the events in the book are true but they are told like a story and make it more exciting for children. Great to pair with another book about Lincoln to read during a unit on presidents, or Lincoln specifically.

      This was a true story of Abe Lincoln and his hat. He was not organized and always forgot where he put important letters. He decided that he would put them in his tall hat because he never lost his hat. One day, a strong wind took his hat. He had to chase it and pick up all of his papers that were in his hat. He became a really good lawyer. He fought against slavery. That is the reason he ran for president in 1860. Abe Lincoln has always been one of my favorite presidents. I really admired him standing up against slavery. I think the students would enjoy a true story about Abe Lincoln and his hat that you won't read about in history books. In the classroom, I would get some black construction paper or even craft foam. We would then make our own tall hats to wear around the classroom. I would then have them write a letter to their mother(or someone special-grandma) and tuck it inside of their hat for safe keeping til they get home and deliver it.
