How the Built the Statue of Liberty
In this book, the Shapiro focuses on the process of building the statue of liberty, rather than those who built it. Readers will note the book's illustrations as its most dynamic factor. Huck Scarry, the illustrator, went to great lengths to craft impressive and attractive representations of the Statue of Liberty in the process of its composition. Specifically, Huck does an amazing job of creating a sense of scale, representing the parts of the statue in correct proportions. Although the text is written for a younger audience, the journey taken is relatable to all, especially those interested in architecture, design, or mathematics. While the book lacks an index, the facts section is a useful tool for those reading the text for specific information.
