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.

B is for Battle Cry
The Civil War is the central subject of this alphabet book. From Abe Lincoln, to Fort Sumter, Gettysburg, Ironclads, Nurses, Spies, Vicksburg, and more; each topic includes a brief poem and additional text to explain the topic. Written and illustrated by the Minnesota team of Patricia Bauer and David Geister, this could supplement American history units at the upper elementary level.
