5 Stars Renee@Mother Daughter Book Review great nonfiction title for kids
My daughter (10) and I (the Mom) reviewed this book for Mother Daughter Book Reviews. She gave the book 4 stars and I give it 5 stars. Here are some of our thoughts:

DAUGHTER SAYS:

This book about a girl named "Little Miss History" who travels all over the world to share the history about some landmarks in the United States of America. In this book, she visits the Statue of Liberty. The pictures in the book were cool because there were life action parts and cartoon parts. In one picture Little Miss History's eyes are creepy because her sunglasses are red and her eyes are bright green. I liked how it showed the Statue of Liberty from different perspectives. In some pictures it was the bottom, in some it was the top, and in some of the last ones it was just the torch. I thought it was interesting that under the green patina of the statue there is copper and it's two pennies thick. It was also interesting that her crown had seven spikes that represented the seven continents. I didn't like how there was no information about how tall she was because I wanted to know. I thought the book was good. It has interesting facts and pictures in it. I think girls about 5 to 10 years old and boys 5 to 8 (but not older) would like it.

MOM SAYS:

My Bottom Line:

Little Miss History Travels to the Statue of Liberty is an excellent non-fiction picture book that is very kid-friendly, has high educational value, and is visually interesting. I can see this book being used by teachers or school librarians in educational settings across the United States. Ages 4+


5 Stars by Kirsten informative, engaging and fun for kids
I was hooked from page 1. I actually giggled at the first illustration at the girl sitting on the globe. It seemed to capture the message of the book perfectly- the world was hers... and with so many places to visit, or choose to explore, I was pleased she chose The Statue of Liberty.

I love books that can capture you fully... and this one does that. The illustrations were superb, the story straightforward, and the lessons, memorable. As an adult I learned a thing or two, and my children now know a lot more about how she was built, and her importance.


5 Stars Diane Mae Robinson, Multi-award winning children's author, Absolutely wonderful!
About the Story: Little Miss History is at it again; this time traveling to the Statue of Liberty to explain facts about: who thought of the idea for the Statue of Liberty and when; who designed it; how funding came about; how the statue was shipped to American; when the statue was erected; what the Statue of Liberty symbolizes along with what the different sections of the statue represents.

What I thought: These are absolutely, positively great books! Kids (and adults) will learn history through key facts presented in a fun way by the author. The vivid full-page color illustrations are fantastic, and the black and white photography enhances the reader's experience on the trip to the Statue of Liberty. I still want to know: why didn't we have these kinds of books when I was a kid? History would have been so much fun!
