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.

Tracks in the Wild
Another beautifully illustrated book; written and illustrated by Betsy Bowen, this won the Minnesota Book Award in 1994. In this book, Bowen focuses on animals found in the northwoods. She provides basic facts, observations and insights about 13 animals that live near her home. Altogether, it is a handsome book and an excellent addition for a unit on Minnesota animals.
