G Is For Good.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
What a wonderful way to give little Minnesotans a sense of belonging, to make a connection with the heritage and beauty of their home state. Debra goes through the alphabet, one page per letter, with a short and well-conceived sentence about and a gorgeous photograph capturing the important images that make Minnesota the great state it is.I'm proud to claim Debra as a personal friend. We share the same hometown, where she is a local celebrity, revered for her extraordinary skills as a photographer. One of her lesser known skills is that of singer. She is the lead vocalist in a country rock band named "Deb & the Other Guys." As one of the "Other Guys," I enthusiastically endorse "M Is For Minnesota." I recommend buying two copies, one for the nursery, and the other for the coffee table. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.
LOOKIN' GREAT, MINNESOTA
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
M is for Minnesota, by Debra Chial, makes this reader eager for a trip up north to put myself in those enticing photographs. From A to Z, we see the state at its most beautiful and its most fun; plus, we get a bit of history and facts as well. This would be an excellent book to read to a pre-schooler, or for a early to mid grade schooler's homework project. If one has a personal connection to Minnesota, or has a need for information about the highlights of our 32nd state, this book will fill the bill. Set up in alphabet format, one gorgeous photograph and simple fact on each page, it is appropiate for reading to preschool children. For older kids, maybe up to age 10 and ready for more information, there are two pages of "Quick Facts" relating to the highlights, at the beginning of the book. It would have been helpful had the author listed the page numbers to which these facts pertained, although they are in some order of occurence.
