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.

A Cold Snap! Frosty Poems
This is a special collection of poems about late autumn and winter, especially appropriate for Minnesota and the upper midwest. Since it is still winter when I write this, the descriptive phrases and word choices will make any reader feel the chill of a winter day. St. Paulite Audrey Baird is the author, and the illustrations by Patrick O'Brien add a frosty touch as well.
