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.

Baby Bear Discovers the World
Readers will follow a baby bear's first adventure into the world on his own. Wanting to prove his independence, our hero ventures a little too close to places where he doesn't belong. Written by Marion Dane Bauer, with photos by Minnesotan Stan Tekiela, this book will make readers feel like they are in the adventure with baby bear. End notes provide more information about black bears. Three pages of out-takes and bloopers show that the photography was not as easy as it looks! It's a nice informational book with some fun mixed in.
