What Is the Statue of Liberty?

What Was... ?

by Joan Holub; John Mantha (Illustrator); Scott Anderson (Illustrator); John Hinderliter (Illustrator)

Synopsis

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.
