Summary:
How the Second Grade Got 8,205.50 to Visit the Statue of Liberty, is exactly that! This book is about how a class of second graders tried to raise enough money to see the statue of liberty. The class has fundraisers like a lemonade stand, a car wash, and ever try dog-sitting, but nothing they do would get them enough money. But, one day at the car wash their principals car causes two robbers to run back into the bank they were robbing and the class gets a reward for that! Turns out it would be a long time until they got the money, so everyones parents pitched in and the class got to go to see the Statue of Liberty.

Personal Reaction:
I thought this was a very good book. Some kids actually do this stuff in real life to raise money and children would be able to relate to this story very well, especially if they have done any of these fundraisers.

Classroom Extension Ideas:
1. Help the children plan their own fundraiser, like a lemonade stand or a car wash.
2. Have the children draw out places they would like to go or to see if they fundraised the money. ( )

Profit and expenses is what makes this book special.
