About this book
Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance is by Frances Cavanah and illustrated by Paula Hutchison. The author's note says that in writing this story of Abraham Lincoln, the author depended primarily on Lincoln's own statements and on the statements of his family and friends who had firsthand knowledge of his everyday life. The note adds that in instances when dialogue had to be imagined, the conversation might logically have taken place in the light of known circumstances.
Nancy asks what day it is and remembers that it is February 12, 1809, little Abe's birthday. Nancy makes a song for her son, a song so soft it was almost a whisper, in which Abe Lincoln is told he is going to grow. Abe asks, “Are you the new schoolmaster?” and when Mr. Swaney asks, “Will you be one of my scholars?” Abe says he would sure like to come. Tom says stiffly that Abe has had as much schooling as he needs.
