Mr. Lincoln's Way
Reading level:
Ages 4-8
Mr. Lincoln is the coolest principal ever! He knows how to do everything, from jumping rope to leading nature walks. Everyone loves him . . . except for Eugene Esterhause. "Mean Gene" hates everyone who's different. He's a bully, a bad student, and he calls people awful, racist names. But Mr. Lincoln knows that Eugene isn't really bad-he's just repeating things he's heard at home. Can the principal find a way to get through to "Mean Gene" and show him that the differences between people are what make them special?
With Patricia Polacco's trademark illustrations and gentle text, Mr. Lincoln's Way celebrates the unforgettable school principal who touches the lives of his students and truly empowers them. |

I would say that the reading level on this book is too low. I would say older elementary. I use this in the classroom sometimes when we need to talk about hurtful words and racism. The thing I love about this book is that the bully has been taught to be a bully and people caring about him is how his life begins to change.
