Minn Is Still Remembered 68 Years Later

 


 

I had a lovely note this week from Barb Langridge, M.Ed.  She’s the Children’s Instructor and Research Specialist at the Howard County Central Library in (I believe) Columbia, Maryland.  She wrote to me asking to reprint a review of Minn of the Mississippi that I posted some time ago on Goodreads.  Equally (or more) important, she moderates a Web site called A Book and a Hug (https://abookandahug.com) devoted to encouraging children’s reading. 

Of course she had my permission, and you can read my review at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/178760.Minn_of_the_Mississippi.  Back in 2012, one of our followers here, Brad Fisher,  also posted his memories of Minn. And, you can read Ms. Langridge’s posting too at https://abookandahug.com/minn-of-the-mississippi/.

 
If I can make a recommendation, Holling’s book, written in 1951, is still available at online booksellers and would be a wonderful gift to any child around the ages of 9 to 12.  Or to anyone who is young at heart and curious about the world.
