Ratings and reviews

The content of the book is informative and great for children. Issue is the format of this book is not done well for high res tablets. The pictures are too small, representing only about 10 of the entire screen.

This statue of our beloved Liberty stands 125 years from now?! I didn't knew that,how amazing was this statue,it has probably an advanced structure of preservation since it was built.And I hope this statue will stand more than 500 yrs and I would likely to put my own time capsules at the foot of the statue which I will secure my secrets and whats happening today to let the in coming generations know my secrets...
