This book is all about the fun facts concerning the Statue of Liberty. It answers why it is green, but also a lot of fun questions such as how we were able to receive it as a gift.
I initially read this book because I did not know the answer to the title's question but I was excited to find out that this book includes so much more. There are several facts on every page that are explained in a way that a young child would understand it. I like that the narrator was the perspective of a child.
I would use this book to teach about the Statue of Liberty and about freedom. I would also use this for a science experiment. On the last page, the book includes how to turn a penny green and I would use this to help show how the process works.

This is a great book to introduce the Statue of Liberty to young children, it uses a class trip by grade schoolers to frame learning the history and facts of Our Lady.

The title is completely misleading as I teach kids about central idea - the title is supposed to show that. Thanks HMH.
