A BOOK FOR ABE: Lincoln Birthday Story
By
Two of Abe's young friends work hard to get him two birthday presents-- a shirt and a book. The gifts are ready on time, and the honest lad is overwhelmed. All in all, the typical glimpse of Lincoln as seen by two young hero-worshipping friends is lukewarm, consisting primarily of contrived, stiff conversations. By the author of The Girl From Johnnycake Hill (1961, p.675, J-237).
