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.

Farmer's Market; Families Working Together
Where's the best place to buy the freshest vegetables, fruit, and flowers? Try a farmer's market. In this book, readers will get a behind-the-scenes look at two farm families who raise produce and flowers to sell at the St. Paul farmer's market. They will also see how everyone in the family, including children, work together to grow the food and flowers that fill the market from Spring through Fall each year. Written by Marcie Rendon with photographs by Cheryl Walsh Bellville, it also includes instructions for growing vegetables from seed, and may be a resource for Spring gardening units.
