There's much more to Michigan than the Motor City. With well over three thousand miles of shoreline (as many as California) and access to four of the five Great Lakes, Michigan's two peninsulas offer some of the loveliest coastal scenery anywhere. Many of the drives in Scenic Driving Michigan feature pristine beaches, stately lighthouses, and quaint little lakeside towns. Here also are drives through virgin pine forests and lush wetlands, with many opportunities to spot a surprising variety of wildlife. Scenic Driving Michigan provides detailed maps, comprehensive drive descriptions, more than forty black-and-white photographs, and information about camping, special attractions, and historic points of interest. Also included are eight pages of vivid color photos taken along selected routes.

More About the Author
Kathy-jo Wargin is the bestselling author of more than 45 books such as the children's classic The Legend of Sleeping Bear, 2001 IRA Children's Choice Award Winner The Legend of the Loon, IRA Teacher's Choice Award Winner Win One for the Gipper, Bank Street College of Education Best Book Listee The Voyageur's Paddle, and newly released Alfred Nobel, The Man Behind the Peace Prize. She has also written two widely successful coffee table books titled Michigan, The Spirit of the Land and The Great Lakes Cottage Book, working in collaboration with her husband, Great Lakes photographer Ed Wargin.
Kathy-jo Wargin was born and raised on the iron range of northern Minnesota, and studied music composition at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. She has been writing professionally for more than twenty years, and is dedicated to the creation and promotion of quality literature for children. She is a frequent guest speaker at reading conferences throughout the nation such as IRA, MAME, MRA and more. In addition, she regularly visits school systems to perform large and small group presentations and teacher in-service programs, as well as frequent book signing tours and promotional events. Kathy-jo Wargin and family reside in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
Her newest book is titled Moose on the Loose. Here's what School Library Journal has to say: PreS-Gr 1-This rhyming text begins by asking: "What/would you do/with a moose/on the loose?/Would you chase him,/or race him,/or stand up to face him?" As the book continues, the creature becomes more daring, and children will delight in the antics of both the moose and its young human companion. Bold, bright, cartoonlike illustrations capture the action in a humorous style, inviting readers to look closely at all the details. The large boldfaced type complements the illustrations and action. Colorful spreads and simple rhymes will make this whimsical story a hit.-Margaret R. Tassia, Millersville University, PA

5.0 out of 5 stars
Tour companion for the state native & out-of-state traveler.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scenic Driving Michigan (Paperback)
Wonderfully detailed road trips useful for a state resident or visitor. My husband and I have selected our Michigan vacation stops based on the tour descriptions of natural viewpoints,towns,and shopping venues. Generally vacationing throughout the U.S., we have utilized other books in the "Scenic Driving" series and all are equally delightful! Highly recommended and worth every cent!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Only small areas covered,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scenic Driving Michigan (Paperback)
I returned this book. I was disappointed that it only covered small driving areas of Michigan. I thought it would cover larger areas that we could travel and see senic sites at the same time. I would not recommend it.
