Summary: Lincoln and Me
Comment: This book is clearly written, beautifully illustrated, and it provides for very enjoyable reading for adults as well as children.
The illustrations are a combination of watercolor artwork as well as sketches. The book is written in verse and makes a marvelous reading for young readers. I read it to my first grade class and they loved it.

Summary: A wonderful, quiet tale of admiration for Lincoln
Comment: Louise Borden's "A. Lincoln and Me" has the great good luck of being illustrated by Ted Lewin. Author and painter work quiet miracles herein, with Borden's young boy reflecting on Lincoln and the similarities they share (not the least of which includes the same birthday).
Lewin makes a powerful impression here with his pencil sketches of Lincoln shadowing the boy throughout the book. This deft use of pencil, juxtaposed with watercolor paintings of the boy, draw a subtle line between history and modernity, while the size differential (the boy is always smaller than is Lincoln) underscores Lincoln's importance, both in history and to the boy personally.
Really very highly recommended for any child, especially those who have an interest in either Lincoln or the Civil War.
