"Zeldis's oversized gouache paintings give this picture-book biography a folkloric look that suits its larger-than-life subject. Kunhardt's brief text avoids any fictionalization and presents the important events in Lincoln's youth and many careers in a straightforward, objective fashion.... A praiseworthy effort."--School Library Journal.

"Hits the high spots and finds time for memorable tidbits... Consider multiple copies."--Booklist (starred review).
