[LM_NET] GEN: Great Lincoln Program at New York Public Library, 2-7-09 -- more info

[Sharron McElmeel <mcelmeel@MCELMEEL.COM>]

Thanks Judy --you always have the best news and 
information about books and things happening -- 
do visit www.readkiddoread.com -- the 
contributions there are fantastic.
And of course if anyone is in the vicinity of NY 
what is not to love about Candace Fleming's new 
book about the Lincoln's -- But those of you who 
can not make it, I hope you get the book (and Jim 
Aylesworth's "Our Abe Lincoln"), find the recipe 
for Mary Todd Lincoln's white cake, and have good 
old party talking books.  The recipe is in each 
of the books.
Both of these books are featured in a column -- 
In the Spotlight: Abe Lincoln in Library Sparks 
web resources.  
http://www.highsmith.com/pdf/librarysparks/2009/lsp_feb09_spotlight.pdf
The column also contains a bibliography of 
several other books about Lincoln that are being 
published or recently published including Deborah 
Hopkinson's early reader.
Happy President's Day
Sharron McElmeel
