Meet Abraham Lincoln by Barbara Cary, 86 pages

There are a few different books with this title by different authors, and at least two different editions of this book by the same author.
It seems the later softcover, Landmark edition of 2001 has the same text, but is missing or has different illustrations than the earlier, hard cover copy of 1965, in the Step Up Books series. Both have the same publisher, and seem to have the same number of pages. My review is for the earlier edition of 1965. I purchased my copy at a used book store for $4.

Suitable for children in Grades 2- 6, or a little older. A good overall biography, but Lincoln's virtues are only lightly touched on. The illustrations are interesting and by Jack Davis. The reviews on Amazon are also good, and they are of the more recent Landmark edition.
