Are you looking for a wonderful list of children’s books set in Minnesota? Here are some of our favorites! Each of these children’s books is either set in Minnesota or features a person who has close ties to the state. Known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota has a rich history in logging, forestry, and hockey (my son’s personal favorite!)
