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.

Animal Tracks of Minnesota and Wisconsin
This little field guide is a valuable resource for anyone studying animals found in Minnesota and the upper midwest. Divided into two sections for mammals and birds, amphibians, and reptiles; it includes a brief physical description of the animal, a black and white illustration, a comparison with similar species, and most importantly, illustrations of paw prints or other markings left by the animal as it moves about, as well as stride patterns. It is a very practical little book for teachers and students.
