Synopsis

Get ready to blast back to the past and learn all about the Statue of Liberty!

When people think about the Statue of Liberty, that iconic statue will surely come to mind. But why do we have that statue, and who is that woman anyway? This engaging nonfiction book, complete with black and white interior illustrations, will make readers feel like they've traveled back in time. It covers everything from how the statue was built to the history behind its creation and more. Find out interesting, little-known facts such as how it almost didn't get built and how the man who designed the Eiffel Tower designed the "spine" of the statue. The unique details along with the clever and humorous interior illustrations make this series stand out from the competition.
