Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6. The story behind this symbol of America's freedom and democracy. The statue itself was an engineering feat for the 19th century as revealed in this well-written and researched, entertaining history that emphasizes its architecture and construction. Black-and-white archival photographs and reproductions of the statue as it was being built over the years and full-color photos of it as it stands today enhance the text.?Pamela K.

This book was thorough enough for my son's school report and yet easy to understand. The content wasn't just fluff--it had enough relevant facts without being too technical.
