5.0 out of 5 stars Just Like Abraham Lincoln, April 8, 2000

By	Lee Etta Proudfoot (Pulaski, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just Like Abraham Lincoln (Library Binding)

Mr. Potts not only looks like Abraham Lincoln but is a confirmed Lincolnphile who shares many other attributes of Mr. Lincoln's with his young neighbor who in turn shares Mr. Potts with his schoolmates for a special program on Lincoln's birthday. A clever story that presents pertinent facts about a beloved president to young children. As an school librarian I enjoy reading this to kindergarten students for Presidents Day.

4.0 out of 5 stars teacher favorite, February 13, 2009

By	Tree Teacher (Nevada, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JUST LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN (Paperback)

I've used this children's book (by the great Bernard Weber) for the last 20 years teaching K-2nd grades. It's tells the story of Lincoln's life in a creative way, and the kids have always enjoyed it. It even has a surprise ending! The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars are the llustrations are a bit old fashioned. My copy is falling apart, and I'd love to find a replacement to last until retirement. :)
(The other "review" has nothing to do with this children's book.)
