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.

Imagine a House
Children sometimes have a worldview that is limited by their experiences. This book will help them expand their horizons by exploring the houses that people live in around the world. Twelve different styles of home are included here, from igloos in the Artic (and in Africa) to adobe, to houseboats, and tents among others. Written by Minnesota author, Angela Gustafson, this was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2004.
