(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. Rabin shows Lincoln's spirited young sons tormenting the White House staff and getting their dad to formally pardon their soldier doll (a true event, according to the appended author's note). The down-homey prose spotlights Lincoln's big-heartedness. Ibatoulline's accomplished painterly illustrations display the boys' hijinks. Websites. Bib.
