Summary: Reading for Children's Literature is fun..
Review: I have to read 40 books for my Children's Lit class and my daughter had this book in her room, so I thought what the heck. I haven't asked her yet what she thought of it, but I'm sure my son has read it. Being that he is the avid reader like his mom but my daughter you would have to pull teeth. lol! But this book was interesting because it gave information such as how the Statue of Liberty was brought to America and how Lily made her crowns was given at the end. I am going to school to become a Elementary Teacher and this project would be a great idea to teach to my students.

Summary: history,art, math in one book!
Review: This is a great book for Dr. E.D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge curriculum (look up his books on Amazon!). Second graders study the Statue of Liberty, and with this book the class can make the actual crown that Lily sold! The pattern is in the back of the book. The second graders at my child's school all made crowns and the teacher took a class picture of the project. Lots of fun for them.

Summary: a gir living in the year the Statue of Liberty is deliverd
Review: This story is about a girl who is living in the year the statue of liberty is first broght to america. In her class the students are asked to bring money to help build the pedestal for the statue. When she tells her pearents about it, her mother does not think that it is a good Idea. the rest of the story is about how Lilly tries to riase money to bring in to her clase. The story was quite charming, but the pictures were just to cutesywootsy for me. But the rest of the book was quite satisfactory. Something that I liked about it was that it was a book that it showed a very healthy respect of what immigrant life was like.I would recomend especialy to kids at about the third grade level if tey wanted a book that could show them how life was like in the past, but feel the emotions that Are still felt by peopel today
