Kid Scoop goes crazy for Crazy Horse

Posted by on August 27, 2012 in Featured, Kid Scoop | 0 comments

The giant-sized Crazy Horse statue is being built in South Dakota.

Today’s issue of Kid Scoop focuses on the creation of a gigantic statue of Crazy Horse, the American Indian leader, in South Dakota.

The statue, once it’s completed, will be the biggest statue in the world … bigger than the Statue of Liberty and taller than the Washington Monument.

This overlay shows what the statue will look like when it is completed.

Here’s a video story about the project. http://youtu.be/6zmwC0ykXpk
