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.

Up North at the Cabin
As winter creeps closer and closer, this book is a pleasant reminder of summer just past. In this story a girl anticipates a vacation at a cabin in the northwoods, experiences several wonders of nature while there, and returns home with fond memories to save until next summer. Authored by Marsha Wilson Chall, illustrated by Steve Johnson, this was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1993.
