Deeply researched and charmingly told, this is the true story of one extra-special childhood rescuea dog named Honey.
Long before Abraham Lincoln led the nation or signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he was just a barefoot kid running around Knob Creek, Kentucky, setting animals free from traps and snatching frogs out of the jaws of snakes.
One day, young Abe found a stray dog with a broken leg and named him Honey. He had no idea that the scruffy pup would find his way into Abes heart, become his best friend, andone fateful daysave his life.
Whether shared at home or in the classroom, this is a good choice for young readers interested in true stories of U.S. presidents.
