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.

Paul Bunyan's Sweetheart
The newest tall tale in the Paul Bunyan collection, this is the story of how Paul falls in love with Lucette Diana Kensack from Hackensack (of course). Paul is so smitten that he will do anything to win Lucette's heart. However, Lucette has an unusual love test for him to pass first. Written by Marybeth Lorbiecki, illustrated by Renee' Graef, this is a wonderful addition to the Bunyan canon of tall tales.
