The Story of Abraham Lincoln by Mary A. Hamilton audiobook.
Genre: biography
In this biography for young adults, Mary A. Hamilton gives a British person’s perspective on the 16th President of the United States. A glowing tribute to “Honest Abe”, the author traces Lincoln’s ancestral roots and recounts his birth in Kentucky, his youth in Indiana, his adult life in Illinois and his years in the White House. She also provides a good background on the causes and course of the American Civil War.
Hamilton is not always historically precise. For example, she erroneously names Jefferson Davis as the Southern Democratic candidate for president running against Lincoln and Douglas in 1860 rather than John C. Breckinridge. However, overall “The Story of Abraham Lincoln” is a good summarization and interesting account of the life, values and politics of Lincoln.
Cautions: Chapter 7 contains a single use of an epithet for African-Americans in a quotation from a British magazine. Chapter 8 ends with an example of a stereotypical Southern black dialect which many may find offensive.

The American Claimant by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: comedy
The American Claimant is an 1892 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. The story focuses on the class differences and expectations of monarchic, hierarchical Britain and the upstart, 'all men are created equal' America. Twain wrote the novel with the help of phonographic dictation, the first author (according to Twain himself) to do so. This was also (according to Twain) an attempt to write a book without mention of the weather, the first of its kind in fictitious literature. Indeed, all the weather is contained in an appendix, at the back of the book, which the reader is encouraged to turn to from time to time.

Poems Every Child Should Know by Mary E. Burt audiobook.
Genre: poetry
Poems Every Child Should Know, selected and arranged by educator Mary E. Burt, is a welcoming doorway into the classics of English-language verse for young listeners and the grown-ups who share stories with them. Built as a treasury rather than a single narrative, this anthology gathers memorable poems that have long been read aloud in classrooms and homes, offering a rich mix of lullabies, ballads, nature poems, humorous pieces, and stirring favorites tied to seasons, family life, courage, and wonder. Burt's guiding purpose is simple and enduring: to place strong, beautiful language within reach of children, with selections chosen for clarity, musicality, and emotional immediacy. As voices shift from playful to solemn and from intimate to grand, listeners meet a wide range of poets and styles, learning how rhythm, rhyme, and vivid imagery can capture everyday feelings as well as big ideas. Whether used for bedtime listening, family read-alouds, or introducing poetry one unforgettable line at a time, this collection invites children to memorize, recite, and return to poems that grow deeper with age.
