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.

Scruffy; A Wolf Finds His Place in the Pack
This is the story of Scruffy, a yearling arctic wolf on Ellesmere Island. Scruffy is kind of a mess: he's awkward, makes poor decisions, and his fur is always scraggly looking. But he has one skill; he's a good babysitter for his new younger brothers and sisters in the pack. Written by, and illustrated with photos by Jim Brandenburg, this is a nice resource for a unit on wolves.
