(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bert Dodson. Loose, sometimes sloppy watercolors illustrate this text-heavy picture book describing Lincoln's reliance on and love for his horse, Old Bob. The long-winded but informative narrative emphasizes Old Abe's affection for animals, summarizes the important events of the Civil War, and ends with the assassinated president's funeral procession--a rider-less Old Bob "escorting his master on the final ride home."
