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.

Tree Trolls! In the Rommegrot Pot
If you've read "Horns and Wrinkles", here is another story about trolls and Minnesota. This one is a picture book written and illustrated by Marjory Johnson Wood with rosemaling by Teresa Ann McCue. This tells the story of how trolls arrived from Scandinavia and how they settled in the North Woods. It also relates a story of how Grandma Pauline and her family tangled with trolls one night during blueberry picking season. It is a clever little story with additional resources in the back.
