Book Review: Little Miss HISTORY Travels to The Statue of Liberty

Little Miss HISTORY Travels to The Statue of Liberty

by Barbara Ann Mojica

Illustrations by Victor Ramon Mojica

• Series: Little Miss HISTORY Travels to
• Paperback: 38 pages
• Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; 1 edition (August 19, 2013)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1492211842
• ISBN-13: 978-1492211846

Synopsis: Since her last trip to Mount Rushmore, Little Miss HISTORY has journeyed more than 1700 miles over land, sea and air to reach her second destination, The Statue of Liberty. This national treasure stands proudly in New York Harbor welcoming all people to the land of freedom and opportunity. In this second book of the series, Little Miss HISTORY will help you discover who thought of the statue in the first place, the values she symbolizes, the architects and engineers who built Lady Liberty, and the little known individuals who contributed their pennies to make her debut in New York's harbor possible. You will learn about why she remains a promise and symbol of the hopes and aspirations of many people around the world and not just to immigrants coming to America. Come now and follow Little Miss HISTORY as she enlightens you about The Statue of Liberty!

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!

LITTLE MISS HISTORY Travels to MOUNT RUSHMORE

by Barbara Ann Mojica

Illustrations by Victor Ramon Mojica

Publisher: CreateSpace, 2nd edition, August 26, 2013

34 pages

ISBN-13: 978-1492262985

ISBN-10: 1492262986

From the back cover: "LITTLE MISS HISTORY Travels to MOUNT RUSHMORE" is the first in a series of books using the Little Miss HISTORY character as a guide. She looks like a wannabe park ranger with pig tails and hiking boots three sizes too big. The aim of these books is to whet a child's appetite to learn more about history and encourage them to visit the landmarks featured in the series.  

About the story: History, as her parents call her for short, takes the reader on a trip to Mount Rushmore with very interesting--and probably some little known facts--about how the president's faces were carved, when they were carved, how many workers worked on the carvings, the cost of the project, the official name and Native American name for Mount Rushmore, and the mountain's link to the Native Americans in history.

What I thought: If my history lessons were this interesting when I was a kid, I would have loved learning history. This is an excellent history book with an adventurous main character that talks to kids (and obviously adults--me) in a fun way about history facts. I think this series is an amazing idea, and kids will absolutely love this book and will want to read the other Little Miss History books. Kudos to the author for making history fun. 

The illustrations are bold and colorful, and absolutely delightful.
