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.

Birds of Prey of Minnesota
This guide to birds of prey includes information on 33 species, including hawks, eagles, falcons, kites, vultures, and owls. The front of the book has general information on identifying birds of prey, their anatomy, nests, etc. It also includes a "quick compare" guide with illustrations of birds in flight and when perching. Each species has a two-page profile with a color photo, silhouette, range map, description of males and females, nesting habits, migration, and notes from the author, Stan Tekiela. This is an essential resource for library collections.
