Synopsis: Tallest, wisest, most studious–Lincoln was simply superlative!
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.
Don’t forget to think of all the ways in which you, too, are superlative!
