What Is the Statue of Liberty?

In 1876, France decided to give the United States a very big and very special present--the Statue of Liberty. The gift was to commemorate the 100th birthday of the United States, and just packing it was no small feat--350 pieces in 214 crates shipped across the ocean. The story of how the 111-foot-tall lady took her place in the New York Harbor will fascinate young readers.Author: Joan Holub, Who HqPublisher: Penguin WorkshopPublished: 05/29/2014Pages: 112Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.30lbsSize: 7.50h x 5.30w x 0.30dISBN: 9780448479170Audience: Ages 9-12Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 6Point Value: 1Interest Level: Middle GradeQuiz #/Name: 166592 / What Is the Statue of Liberty?About the AuthorJoan Holub is the author of What Was the First Thanksgiving?, What Was the Gold Rush?, and other Who Was...? titles, including Who Was Marco Polo? and Who Was Babe Ruth?
