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.

Snapshot: America Discovers the Camera
Photography has been a popular hobby for many years. This book will entertain readers with the history of camera and photography in Europe and the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Written by Kenneth Czech, it won the Minnesota Book Award for children's nonfiction in 1997.
