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.

Out of the Ocean
Although we live a long way from the ocean, this book by Minnesotan Debra Frasier will have readers thinking about beachcombing on a warm ocean beach. An interesting array of treasures are found by the mother/daughter team in this story. A journal in back provides more information about the found items as well as plants and trees that are part of the illustrations. It will have you wishing you could run to a beach and start exploring.
