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.

Eureka! Poems About Inventors
This book is a collection of 16 poems about the poeple who invented things that make our lives easier today. From ancient to modern, the discoveries featured here include paper, moveable type, automatic dishwashers, and velcro, among others. Written by Joyce Sidman, with illustrations by Bennett Chavez, it also includes brief endnotes to help readers learn more about each inventor and his/her discovery.
