Our Abe Lincoln: An Old Tune with New Lyrics

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. Aylesworth adds verses to a Lincoln campaign ditty (to the tune of "The Old Grey Mare"), starting with Abe as a boy. McClintock bridges the time between then and now by illustrating the song as a school pageant in which youngsters perform in period costumes; spot art reinforces content. This rousing, unusual biography is packed with energy and humor.
