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.

Horsepower; The Wonder of Draft Horses
This book will introduce todays readers (especially city kids who've never been close) to draft horses including Clydesdales, Percherons, and Belgians. Each breed is described in words and pictures; and the book also shows how horses were/are used on farms past and present. With text by Cris Peterson and photos by Alvis Upitis, this was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1998.
