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.

Trees of Minnesota Field Guide
This field guide features information on 93 species (16 conifers and 77 deciduous trees). They are arranged by needle or leaf type and attachment to their branch. Each species has a two-page profile with color photos of leaves/needles, bark, flower and fruit if appropriate. Entries include information on family, size, leaf/needle description, flower, fruit, fall color, habitat, and notes by the author, Stan Tekiela. This is an essential resource for library collections.
