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.

Two Old Potatoes and Me
This could be a Spring-time story about planting potatoes, but it also works in the Fall, as readers can reflect on the growing process and the fun of harvesting and eating fresh potatoes. Written by John Coy, illustrated by Carolyn Fisher, this is a nice supplement for a science unit on plants. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2004.
