Using short poems, this book uses facts and Minnesota history in its counting-from Pipestone, to Red River oxcarts (invented by the Metis, or people of mixed heritage), bison, petroglyphs (images carved in rock), Fur Trading posts, and other non-Native topics.**There is a mention of Fort Snelling, but it would be a good class discussion to further investigate the history of how Dakota people were imprisioned there after the 1862 U. S. Dakota War.
