K-3Ready-to-Read: Wonders of America series.
Illustrated by
John Wallace.
The story of how the Statue of Liberty came to the United States, who constructed it, and how schoolchildren throughout America contributed to the building of its foundation is told in easy-to-read sentences. Some sophisticated vocabulary (pedestal, structure, unveiled) may challenge readers, but unfussy watercolor illustrations support the text with picture cues. Seven "interesting facts" about the statue are appended.
