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.

The Boyhood Diary of Charles Lindbergh 1913-1916
This book includes excerpts from the diaries of Charles Lindbergh. They include a selection about passenger train travel from Little Falls, Minnesota to Washington D.C. where his father was a member of the House of Representatives; a camping and boating trip with his father along the Mississippi River from the Headwaters to Palisade; and an automobile trip around Minnesota (where Charles was the driver at age 14) while his father campaigned for office. It's a brief but interesting look at the childhood of a famous Minnesotan.
