I was hoping this would be a good book for my kids to use in doing their state reports for school, but there was so little information in it, that we were unable to use it.

This book is a good resource for students studying their own state. It is set up with an introduction, chapters, index, glossary and further information. It features real pictures of the places or events and gives many facts about each. The page titled Minnesota Facts would be great for students creating types of reports about the state.
