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.

Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is a fiesta day celebrated on May 5th in Mexico and the United States. It is a celebration of Mexico's defeat of the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. This account for early readers is written by Linda Lowery, and illustrated by Minnesotan Barbara Knutson. It is a good classroom resource for Cinco de Mayo this week.
