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.

Getting Used to the Dark
The first published collection of poems by Susan Marie Swanson, this book focuses on images of the night. Dreams, worries, wishes, spiders, flowers, deer, stars, and more - they're all here. Black and white illustrations by Peter Catalanotto add to the imagery. It might add to a storytelling session of scary stories.
