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.

Swing Around the Sun
This poetry collection by Barbara Esbensen was first published in 1965, and was a popular book in classrooms for many years. In 2003, a new edition was released with new illustrations by four Minnesota artists; Cheng-Khee Chee, Janice Lee Porter, Mary GrandPre, and Stephen Gammell. Now old and new readers of this collection of vibrant seasonal poems can enjoy them with bright new illustrations.
