He Has Shot the President!: April 14, 1865: The Day John Wilkes Booth Killed President Lincoln (Actual Times, 5)

This book is graphic for use at school. As a teacher, I looked through it and had to send it back. Pictures are a bit much for 5th grade students. May be okay in a junior high setting.

Perfect book to read aloud to my students as we commemorate the anniversary of President Lincoln's assassination.

Great Book!!! I learned a lot I did not know. Very well written.

A good nonfiction selection for fifth graders.

This book is incredibly graphic and directed at readers 6-10 years of age and yet described in detail that the “sliced through the presidents skull stopping behind his right eye.” It is NOT appropriate for young children. It also has pictures of Mr Booth being hung. The story could be told in a less graphic manner.
