A book for everyone who has looked at the vast expanse of Ole and Lena jokes and asked, "Is that it?" 'How to be: NORTH DAKOTA' offers regional history and culture through lessons and activities about becoming "North Dakotan." Local humor with universal appeal, it is the perfect gift for a native, a state rival, a new parent or any American looking to laugh and learn about a state that's more than "that place with the oil" or "the top Dakota." With drawings by Amy Jean Porter.
