[Lady reading under the Willow · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very factual, this gives a brief overview of the state (though our copy is rather outdated in some respects).

[Anne Jennen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Informational book about the State of Minnesota

[Jenna Bamlet · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute knowledgeable book, not sure how much is fully accurate research as the verbiage used isn’t reassuring that the author was using opinions over facts

[Samantha Gacke]

The state of Minnesota is explained in details from the state sports to the state’s history to outstanding Minnesotans, and much more.

Coming from Minnesota, I defiantly had an interest in this book and couldn’t believe how much information I learned from this one little book. The nice thing about these books is that this Minnesota one comes from a series. In the series, every state gets a book dedicated to that state and there are a few others for countries like Puerto Rico and Cuba. It would be very simple to include these books in a classroom and can be used for history or geography. These books give details about the history of the state, for example in the Minnesota book talks about the state’s farming history. This book would also work for geography since it talks about the plains, there are maps and the economic materials found in Minnesota.
