He Has Shot the President!
HE HAS SHOT THE PRESIDENT by Don Brown. Roaring Brook Press, April 2014.
The story of John Wilkes Booth and his plot to assassinate Lincoln is the topic for this picture book with incredible detail. The plotting before and after the murder of the President will keep readers drawn into the narrative. The illustrations that reflect mood and tone are a perfect accompaniment.
