Review of 'Minn of the Mississippi' on 'Goodreads'

Excellent and fun book, if dated in places. That too is educational, and can be good for discussion.

It took us a surprising length of time to get through as we'd picked it up as part of a snapping turtle reading project, and misplaced it once or twice. Really really enjoyed the detailed illustrations, made lots of notes. We started out with a library copy and ended up purchasing our own.
