Description

Lincoln Green has a double, someone who looks just like him. Lincoln Green's own mother can't tell the difference between him and You Know Who. With his handy stand-in taking care of all the chores that just can’t wait, Lincoln Green has plenty of time to do the things he wants to do, like drink fizzy sarsaparilla and shoot the breeze. However, You Know Who teams up with Billy the Kid Next Door, preferring fun over chores. This leads to big trouble for Lincoln Green. This visually striking and inventive picture book by the author of Marshall Armstrong Is New to Our School and The Frank Show explores themes of responsibility and the importance of doing things you may not initially enjoy.
