The Little Red Lighthouse

And the Great Gray Bridge

A wonderful tale based on the true story of the building of the George Washington Bridge and the little lighthouse that stood in it's shadow. While it is not completely true to the tale, children love knowing that the book is about real landmarks. The story is fun to read and a very sweet way to remind your little ones that no matter how big they are, or what they can do, they are very important. Filled with imaginative yet realistic pictures and descriptions of the bridge being built, this is simply a fun, entertaining book.
