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.

Wishing I Was Fishing
If winter is getting to you, this story will help you think ahead to spring and summer. In this gentle story, a father and son set out on the first fishing trip of the season. From preparing the boat, to launching it, to catching the first fish; this is an adventure shared by father and son. Written by Eva Wells, illustrated by Chandra Dale, this is a story for dads to read to their young sons when fishing season draws near.

on my Ipod is a duet by Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong called Gone Fishin'. The chorus: "gone fishin', instead of just a wishin'.
