The Ultimate Minnesota Kids Books Gift Guide

There are many things as synonymous with childhood as a good bedtime story.

I’m not sure what your house looks like at bedtime, but my toddler son insists that we read at least a half-dozen books every night before he goes to bed.

I’m a firm believer in the importance of books in a kid’s life, and I also think books make some of the best gifts around. For every occasion, there’s a book for that!

In honor of our love for books and our love for Minnesota, we’ve rounded up 10 awesome childrens books with a Minnesota theme. These would make awesome gifts for the Minnesota kids in your life!

The Ultimate Minnesota Kids Book Gift Guide

Good Night Minnesota – A sweet bedtime book that says good night to our favorite place: Minnesota!

Count to Sleep Minnesota – Another Minnesota bedtime book, this time counting to sleep!

Good Night Lake – While this isn’t a specifically Minnesotan book, it’s about lakes and well… we know we have our fair share of those in the Land of 10,000 Lakes!

Twelve Days of Christmas in Minnesota – We have this book, and it’s a hilarious play on the traditional twelve days of Christmas song. Raleigh loves it and it helped him learn to count!

Larry Gets Lost in the Twin Cities – A cute book set in the Twin Cities!

Lucky to Live in Minnesota – We sure are lucky to live in Minnesota, aren’t we??

Goodnight Loon – This is another fun variation of a beloved classic. Goodnight Loon is full of things that Minnesotans will find funny!

A Halloween Scare in Minnesota – This book is Halloween themed, but it’s another great Minnesota story with awesome illustrations.

Santa is Coming to Minnesota – These last two books have Santa coming to Minnesota!

Santa’s Sleigh Is On It’s Way to Minnesota – Another book about Santa coming to visit Minnesota! We’re ready for you, Santa!
