A review by ljrinaldi
Little Miss Liberty by Chris Robertson
2.0
I thought this was going to be a fictionized story of the origin of the Statue of Liberty, which of course, came from the French on the anniversary of American's 100th birthday. That would have been a cool book.
This book is not that.
It's hard to say what this book is. It starts out as though it might be a fictionized version, because she is born in France, but after that it jumps on the crazy train. The Statue, known as Miss Liberty, goes to school, and does things and keeps growing until she is as tall as the Statue is. She explores the world, and decides that the island where the statue sits now, is where she wants to be.
I'm sorry, but this is not a story of the Statue of Liberty, nore is it a story of a girl who became the statue. This is just a mess of potage, as my mother used to say. I think it would be confusing, and strange, for any child who reads it.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
