L Is for Liberty (Reading Railroad)

Fun little book. Very quick read but it was a good intro to the topic.

I like that this book is very gung-ho on America. This is a great read-aloud book for young children. We also have the Step 2 "Statue of Liberty" (by Lucille Recht Penner) for early readers, and the EXCELLENT "The Story of the Statue of Liberty" (Betsy and Giulio Maestro) that is more suitable for third grade & up book reports.I recommend all three. While they overlap on material, all three are very engaging and well-done.

Great book to teach children about the Statue of Liberty.

Wonderful story!!!! Great for my niece. I wish all Americans could read and be reminded where we come from and what America stands for!

Very will written and a cute book.

I bought this book to introduce my three and a half year old son to The Fourth of July and all it stands for. I think it does the job well-as well as any book could for a child that young. The illustrations are truly multi-cultural. My son especially loved the page with the fireworks. And, its especially good for a New Yorker or someone planning a trip to New York, because we will follow the book with a field trip to the Statue of Liberty. Oh, and even though it's called L is for Liberty, it is not an alphabet book. I would have given it five stars but my son enjoyed it once and didn't ask to hear it again. (I just gave it to him today). But if he doesn't ask for it again, I'm still glad to have marked the holiday with an appropriate book, and I would be surprised if he doesn't want to hear it again, especially when we go to see Lady Liberty.

Nice idea for a kids book. Well done. Good gift.

We love this book! The children (ages4-5) enjoyed this book very much!
