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.

The Great River Birding Trail Guide
Summer is here and kids will be outdoors. Some will go on camping or canoe trips into the Minnesota outdoors. This book can be used to identify habitat and birds along the Mississippi River as it flows through the state. Starting at the Headwaters and going south, the book identifies state and regional parks, lakes, ponds, and other sites where bird watching is especially good. The information for each site includes a description, location and directions, and a list of birds commonly found there. Produced by Audobon Minnesota, this can be a school or classroom resource as well as a guide for campers and canoeists to use along the river.
