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.

Everything I Know About Pirates
If you are looking for factual information about pirates, don't read this book! However, if you are seeking an easy-to-read, funny, silly, goofy collection of made-up facts, educated guesses, and silly pictures about pirates and other bad guys of the sea, this is the book for you. Written and illustrated by Minnesota's Tom Lichtenheld, this was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2001.
