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.

Nature's Yucky! Gross Stuff That Makes Nature Work
Did you know that honey is really bee barf? This book uses children's natural fascination with the gross, stinky, and just plain icky aspects of nature to help them learn more about animals and their behavior. Written by Minnesota's Lee Ann Landstrom and Karen Shragg, with illustrations by Constance Bergum, this is a useful supplement for animal units. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2004.
