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.

Wolf Song
One evening at twilight, Nell and Uncle Walter go for a drive in the north woods. Nell wants to learn how to howl like a wolf. She and Uncle Walter carry on a short "howling" conversation with a wolf pack. Written by Mary Bevis with bright scratchboard illustrations by Consie Powell, this could supplement a unit on Minnesota animals. Endnotes in the back provide more information about wolves and their habits.
