![]() Mike Reiss and David Catrow have created a wonderfully hysterical tale that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt a little different from his or her peers. They're sending him to Camp What-cha-ma-call-it-The Camp for Kids Who Look Like Things! Within scenes reminiscent of Bosch and Brueghel, Benjy learns that he's not unusual-he's unique! And when he realizes what's special about himself, it doesn't take long for others to realize it as well. When school ends he plans on spending another summer sitting inside alone, but his parents have a surprise. He gets stuck playing Lincoln in every school play-whether he's part of the story or not. He gets gifts of Lincoln Logs and stovepipe hats on every birthday. He looks just like Abraham Lincoln-right down to the wart and beard. ![]() Goodreads members who liked The Boy Who Looked Like Lincol.
