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 Voyageurs National Park
It's a little late to plan a canoe trip to Voyageurs National Park for this year. But, if you are dreaming about next summer already, this is a handy guide to the birds that live in this unique geographic region of Minnesota and southern Ontario. After an introductory section on bird habitat and anatomy, the main section of the book features one page profiles of the 100 most frequently seen birds in the Park. Each profile includes a color photo, description, behavioral information, and tips on where to see the birds. Lacking a personal author, the book was coordinated and published by the Voyageurs Region National Park Association, with offices in Minneapolis.
