This is a great year for learning about Lincoln, since it has been 200 years since he was born and there have been new websites and books made to celebrate his bicentennial.
If you would like to make a diorama of a scene from Lincoln's life, the state of Illinois offers free print-outs for paper models of buildings that were significant to Lincoln's life, as well as other historic Illinois buildings.

Those are all great books. I think I've read all of them with my daughter. Those building models are so cool; thanks for the link.
I didn't know it had been 200 years...this is definitely a good year to learn about him! I bet your son will really enjoy it.
