Our Abe Lincoln by Jim Aylesworth illustrated by Barbara McClintock*

I love this team!  I love Ms. McClintock's illustration style.
The story is told to the tune of the folk song "The Old Grey Mare".  Abe Lincoln's life is told via children acting it out on stage.  They do share his assassination but only the funeral procession.
Wonderful addition in the back: Each verse in the song is explained with more detail.
*Highly recommend.
