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.

Flood!
It's summertime and time for occasional nasty weather including floods, whether small flash floods or large ones with major damage. This book is part of the series Learn About Natural Disasters. It is a brief beginning reader that provides basic information about how floods happen and how we can try to avoid them. Written by Marion Dane Bauer, with illustrations by John Wallace, the book includes some interesting facts about floods and general tips for what to do in a flood. It can be used as supplementary reading in primary science units about the weather.
