Critics Review
Praise for Mr. Lincoln’s Way:
“A touching and complex story that sends a positive message to kids and creates hope for these working with kids who seem to be lost and categorized as bullies.” —Children’s Literature
“Visually appealing, with colorful, expressive illustrations that beautifully enhance the text … a sweet story about learning to respect oneself and others, and is well worth the reader’s attention.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This story is vintage Polacco–a multicultural neighborhood setting, a cast of believable characters (some larger than life), and a satisfying ending guaranteed to bring tears to even hard-boiled cynics … An excellent choice for storyhours, this should prompt some interesting discussions about bullies and their motivations.” —Booklist
