The Magnificent Mischief of Tad Lincoln

Audiobook

Read by the author with an audiobook-exclusive Q&A!

From New York Times bestselling author and news anchor Raymond Arroyo comes a fun picture book biography of Tad Lincoln, his relationship with his father President Abraham Lincoln, and a story about a parent's love for his son and the wisdom of a child. Full of humor, this romp through history will teach children about the power of curiosity, imagination, friendship, empathy, determination...and even a little mischief!

Tad Lincoln was forever getting into trouble. He bounced around the White House making mischief and annoying almost everyone but the president. Yet Tad was his father's joy and comfort amidst a brutal war, a family tragedy, and the toll of holding the nation's highest office. When Tad befriends a turkey meant to be holiday dinner, his plea for the pet to be spared teaches Abe a lesson about mercy. It also starts the tradition of the presidential turkey pardon, a tradition that presidents carry on to this day.

  • learn about the larger-than-life personality of Tad Lincoln and his father President Abe Lincoln, highlighting the importance of family
