North Star Numbers: A Minnesota Number Book

This book is a lot of things: a counting book about Minnesota, a book about the plants, animals and symbols of the state, and a look at several important historical events in the state's history. Readers will be able to count by ones and tens as they work their way through the book. Sidebars provide more information about the feature on each page. Written by Kathy-jo Wargin and illustrated by Laurie Caple, this is a nice introduction to the state for young readers.
