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.

Just Loons
Here is a combination photography and information book about the common loon. The author, Alan Hutchinson, and photographer, Bill Silliker are both from Maine, so the information extends beyond Minnesota, but that may actually expand the usefulness of the book. In addition to excellent photos, the book includes information about the physical features, nesting habits and family, migration, loon calls and song, how to take pictures of loons, and conservation efforts. It is a beautifully assembled book.
