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.

Fascinating Loons: Amazing Images and Behaviors
This handsome book is a combination photo album and text about the Common Loon. Topics discussed include folklore related to the loon, human hazards, physical features and appearance, behavior, diet, communication, nesting, incubation and early days of life, and finally, migration. Written and photographed by Stan Tekiela, this is a complete and interesting study of the Minnesota state bird.
