The Superlative A. Lincoln

The Superlative A. Lincoln: Poems About Our 16th President
by Eileen R. Meyer (Author) and Dave Szalay (Illustrator)

Booktalk: 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.

Thank You!

Thank You!

Booktalk: Isabella has lots of questions about the world. She asks her grandma, “Why does the sea stop at the sand?” and “What keeps the moon from falling out of the sky?” and “Who paints the clouds?” But maybe Isabella doesn’t need to have all the answers. Maybe it’s enough to simply appreciate the amazing world around her.

Snippet:

Little by little, the daylight began to fade.
The moon was already outlined in the sky.

Then Grandma smiled at the moon and
exclaimed, “Thank you, Moon! Thank you!”

“Thank you! Thank you!” the little girl
exclaimed with a smile.
