Synopsis: JUST IN TIME for the 200th anniversary of his birth comes this ingenious picture book of historical fiction about our 16th president of the United States. Its a tale of two boys who get themselves into more trouble than bear cubs in a candy store during the year 1816. Abe is only seven years old, and his pal, Austin, is ten. Abe and Austin decide to journey down to Knob Creek. The water looks scary and deep, and Austin points out that they dont know how to swim. Nevertheless, they decide to traverse it. I wont tell you what happens, but lets just say that our country wouldnt be the same if Austin hadnt been there to help his friend. From the Hardcover edition.
