"We're up at last!" cheered Bonnie from the top of the Statue of Liberty.

"How funny to be inside a statue's head," laughed William.

It is Bonnie and William's first trip to Miss Liberty. How high they are! How exciting to see all of New York harbor! The tall buildings are like paper cutouts pasted against the sky.

On this special day the children learn many new things: who Fredericc Bartholdi was, how the statue came to us from France, and how it was put together on the little island. Most important of all, they learn what the word liberty means.  

An appealing text and Paul Galdone's splendid pictures make this visit to Miss Liberty a wonderful one.
