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.

The Great Minnesota Fish Book
The subject of many positive reviews when published in 2008, this is a gorgeous (and large) book about fish. It includes information on 105 of the 161 species of fish in Minnesota. Divided into three sections for game, rough, and little-known but interesting fish. Each fish has a half to one-and-a-half page profile with a large color illustration of the fish. Written by Tom Dickson with beautiful detailed illustrations by Joseph R. Tomelleri, this belongs in high school library reference collections and can be used for browsing or research reports.
