"Tallest, wisest, most studios--Lincoln was simply superlative! Get to know the personal side of Honest Abe (his least favorite nickname) through fresh and funny poems expressing his superlative nature."--Adapted from book jacket.
"Abraham Lincoln is famous for many extremes: he was the tallest president, who gave the greatest speech and had the strongest conviction. But did you know that he was also the most distracted farmer, the best wrestler, and the craftiest storyteller? Nineteen poems share fascinating stories about events in Lincoln's life, while history notes go even deeper into how he excelled."
