No licking! No jumping! No barking! It seems like Liberty can’t do anything right. She longs to make her owners, George and Martha Washington, proud of her just like everyone is very proud of them. But in this picture storybook for children ages 3-6, the same traits that annoy everyone come in handy when Liberty saves the day.

Reviews
“Daughter fell in love with the Colonial Williamsbug mascot “Liberty”. Bought her this book after we got back home to FL. She is 7 and read through it in one sitting. This book seemed right on par with her age/reading level and held her interest. She continues to read it from time to time.“
“Fun book. I’m so glad there is a book about Liberty as he is a wonderful mascot for Williamsburg.“
“What a wonderful children’s book! Liberty is loyal and trustworthy but sometimes gets in trouble and annoys the people he loves the most. The story of how Liberty rescues a lost girl is engaging and the vivid illustrations captured my children’s imagination. I highly recommend Liberty Saves the Day.“
