Abe Lincoln was known for his kindness, but did you know he loved animals and children. And that he suffered deeply for the soldiers who were wounded or killed during the Civil War. You might not think that a president would have time for pets and the pleasures that animals bring, but Abraham Lincoln made time. He liked nothing better than to stroke a cat or kitten, and he sometimes ate his lunch in the White House with a little dog named Jip. Abe Lincoln Loved Animals is a unique book that tells about the human side of president Lincoln. This book is Fiction, and for anyone who would like to learn more about that unique side of Abe Lincoln. Abe Lincoln Loved Animals is written by Ellen Jackson. As she states, "she was born in the days of woolly mammoths in Burbank,California." As a child, Ellen wanted more than anything, to be a writer. But every time she wrote a story, her third grade teacher would say with a certain tone, "That's nice, Ellen, but you have to indent!" Indent? So she decided to give up writing until she learned the basics. But today she writes, "I can honestly say I indent as well as J.K. Rowling."
Ellen Jackson was a Psychology, History, and Philosophy major who ended up with a B.A. in English (UCLA), Teaching Accreditation (UCLA), and an M.A. in Counseling (California Family Study Center) with a specialty in early childhood development. She worked as an elementary school teacher, curriculum specialist, curriculum author, editor, and award-winning author of children's books. She also volunteered at the library and at a local homeless shelter.
