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.

Flip, Flap, Fly
In a perfect springtime story for young children, a baby bird begins this rhyming adventure when he sees a baby fish. Baby snakes, ducks, otters, mice, and children also inhabit the story. The babies fly, swim, wiggle, and slide with the help of their mothers. With a bright rhyming text by Phyllis Root, and cheerful acrylic illustrations by David Walker, this is a fun story to share with toddlers and preschoolers.
