You might try a kid's video or book on someone to peak his interest. I hope your library has these.

http://www.gettingtoknow.com/videonew.htm There is a video on DaVinci and other artist. My DD7 thought these were funny. There are some books too.

http://www.amazon.com/Abraham-Linco...p;ie=UTF8&qid=1286236454&sr=1-10

I would also reccomend The childhood of famous americans. Lincoln is included in the series. My DS10 has enjoyed these for several years. The costume is not too difficult.

Hope this helps.
