Standing in for Lincoln Green

32 pp. | Abrams | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0787-2 $16.95
(3) K-3 "Lincoln Green has a double." "You Know Who" tidies, paints the fence, and brushes his teeth while Lincoln Green does more important things like time his handstands and drink sarsaparilla. It's a fine deal for the boy, until his stand-in discovers playing with friends is way more fun. The writing is ingeniously deadpan, and playful sketches cleverly capture the art of shirking.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
