Summary: "Wonderful book"
Absolutely wonderful story and pictures of a turtle's century-long journey down the Mississippi River. It tells all about the great river by following the turtle through harrowing and exciting adventures. I remember reading this book in the second grade, then ordered myself a copy 50 years later!

Summary: "Staying Power"
I read this book when I was a girl in the fifties and was very happy to find it is still around. I am now reading it to my grandchildren. A truly wonderful book that teaches about geography, nature, and life. Like the turtle and the river, "Minn of the Mississippi" has staying power.
