Kindergarten-Grade 1?This easy reader attempts to explain the
significance of the Statue of Liberty, where it originated, and how
it came to be in America. However, the subject matter has been so
simplified that it borders on being meaningless. Accompanying the
statement “A Frenchman made the lady…He copied his mother’s face
for his statue” is a picture of a man drawing as a woman sits
across from him. Without a knowledge of the work of sculpture, few
children will be able to connect this activity with the “lady” he
made. The most comprehensible section describes the size of the
statue and the process of shipping it to America. The discussion of
the building of “a high pedestal for the lady to stand on” is
confusing as the illustrations show a structure more like a dock at
the edge of the water and a second illustration shows what many
would interpret to be a stack of lumber. In general, readers with
adequate background to understand the text will not be interested
in its condescending tone. Betsy Maestro’s The Story of the Statue
of Liberty (Lothrop, 1986) is a far better source for information
on the subject. Those seeking beginning-reading material should
consider some of the many other successful titles in this
series.?Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA
