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.

Great Northern Diver: The Loon
Using a picture book format, Barbara Esbensen and Mary Barrett Brown combine their talent to record the behavior of a pair of loons during the summer nesting season on a northern lake. While bird guides can provide basic information about the loon, this book captures the beauty and uniqueness of Minnesota's state bird. Use with a unit on birds, Minnesota animals, or Minnesota symbols.
