Abe Lincoln's Dream by Lane Smith


After Lane Smith's groovy and educational picture book John, Paul, George & Ben, I wondered and wondered.  What will Lane Smith do next?  How timely that his latest work, Abe Lincoln's Dream, is also historical, political and delightfully human.  Smith's style of collage and woodcut set upon a craquelure background combines with witty and concise bits of courier bold text, yielding a picture book for children with history related to a child by the ghost of Abe Lincoln himself.  Great for the whole family.   (JM)
