Gr 1-2
This easy reader explains how the massive sculpture came to be. Numerous names make the book more difficult to read than other titles in the series. Students are told why each president was selected by Gutzon Borglum for his carving, and there are interesting details about the size of the monument, such as the fact that each of Washington's eyes is 11 feet wide. The colorful illustrations vary in size and for the most part enhance the text. Back matter includes a page of fascinating facts, at a higher reading level.
