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.

I Spy With My Little Eye: Minnesota
Where's Waldo? and the I Spy books have been popular with kids for a number of years. Here's one that is especially connected to Minnesota. On each double-page spread, readers/viewers are challenged to find anywhere from 10 to 35 changes in the pictures. The places or items pictured all have some relationship to Minnesota. Great fun and a test of visual literacy as well, it is written and illustrated by Kathy jo and Ed Wargin.
