Reviews

[Livvie Esslinger]

This book gives an informative story of all the facts you will ever need to know about the liberty bell.

I love how Wilson gave all needed and necessary information, but made it easy to understand and simplified for children.

This book would be great when doing a history lesson!

This book contained basic information, but it did not flow. Still worth reading for basic information though.
