Abraham Lincoln by Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire

4.0

In reading Caldecott books, this is the first year (1940) that I have been really impressed with the illustrations, as well as the stories. This book beat out Madeline (an honor book in 1940), and I can see where that happened. This book is much more text heavy, which fits with earlier winners of the medal.
