Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

M is for Minnesota
Minnesotans Dori Hillestad Butler and Janice Lee Porter team up for another alphabet book about Minnesota. The concepts identified in this book are a little more advanced than those in "V is for Viking". Here we find agriculture (A), to Charles Lindbergh (C), to Kensington Runestone (K), to Red River Valley (R) to Yellow Lady Slipper (Y). It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1999.
