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.

Wildflowers of the BWCA and the North Shore
For flower "peekers" (not pickers), here is a special guide to the wildflowers of northeastern Minnesota. Written by Mark Stensaas, with color illustrations by Rick Kollath, this guide includes information on 108 species arranged by habitat (hardwood forests, boreal forests, bogs, lakes, marshes, ponds, summer forest, exposed bedrock fields, and Lake Superior shoreline). Each profile is 1/2-1 page in length and has a color illustration of the flower, size information, flowering period, description, and natural history.
