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.

Minnesota Wildflowers
Subtitled "A Children's Guide to the State's Most Common Flowers", this slim volume provides a pictorial introduction to approximately 65 wildflowers and berries found in Minnesota. Arranged by biome, the entries provide common and scientific names, size, and a brief description of each plant. With text by Beverly Magley, and illustrations by D. D. Dowden, this was published in 1992, making it an oldie-but-goodie. There are used copies available from Amazon for those interested in purchasing it.
