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.

Goose Moon
What a perfect book for early March as we start getting anxious for Spring to come. This is the story of a young girl who is getting tired of winter and wants warm weather to return. Her grandfather tells her about the Goose Moon (signaling the return of geese from down south), a sure sign that Spring is coming. Written by Carolyn Arden with very realistic watercolor illustrations by Minnesotan Jim Postier, it's a perfect book to share at this time of year.
