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.

Adventures of Thor the Thunder God
This compilation of stories will introduce young readers to the Norse god Thor and others in his pantheon. Thor is the biggest, strongest, and bravest Norse god; and he is the main character in each chapter-length story found here. Retold by Lise Lunge-Larson, with digital illustrations by Jim Madsen, this is a nice addition to library folklore collections, and to folklore unites at the intermediate reading level. It includes a glossary and list of additional resources in back.
