Even an old adage of truth as "never judge a book by its cover" can be wrong now and again.The cover of Sweet Land of Liberty displays a most adorable elephant viewing Liberty Island in New York Harbor with an expression (only as elephants can) of pride and patriotism. From sweetly eyeing the Statue of Liberty to tenderly embracing our Nation's Flag, you grasp the idea that this elephant is in love with America. Even the bald eagle (who joins the elephant on each page) stands tall, and smiles while overlooking what is considered our greatest symbol of freedom, La Liberté éclairant le Monde.As the first page turns, you learn that this patriotic pachyderm is named Ellis. Besides his love of country, he enjoys the library (which explains how he is also smart and curious) and without further ado, Ellis with his befriended bald eagle adventure off into the world of books to discover the secret of America.They are not disappointed in their travels, and neither will you or your child be in reading this delightful book. Each page is increasingly beautiful in writing and illustrating as the learning journey unfolds. The simplicity of the rhyming magically explains the great events that have transpired over the centuries as our country has grown. From the first Thanksgiving to the crossing of the Delaware to the landing on the Moon, Ellis' activities are engaging, inspire the imagination, and you learn something along the way. Could anything be better in a children's book?Well, yes. And Sweet Land of Liberty has it. It gives young and old alike a reason to love this great land of ours, again. We seemingly have lost what our parents instinctively knew--this is a great land of freedom and opportunity.
