The Legend of Minnesota

I was interested in reading this book, due to living in Minnesota and just to look at the pictures too! Wonderful book, storyline and art work are top notch.

Legend of Minnesota Review

This is a great book- if you want to know the background to midwestern history or have little kids who like brilliant paintings- this is a wonderfully written and presented book. My kids adore the images and it generates a lot of parent-to-child discussion. It is a warm and inviting tale, and you'll spend a lot of fun time with kids pouring over the detailed images by Mr. Dave Geister. Highly recommended!

Stunning Illustrations!

I own all David Geister-illustrated books. Although Kathy-Jo writes a wonderful tale, it's David's illustrations that truly bring it to life.
