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.

A Fabulous Fair Alphabet
This is the newest book by Minnesota author and illustrator, Debra Frasier--and it is fabulous! She has visited the Minnesota (and others) State Fair and photographed thousands of signs and letters. From those photographs, she has designed 26 alphabet pictures that follow activities at the fair. It's fun, it's very colorful, and just fabulous!
Debra will be the Minnesota State Fair Artist-in-Residence this year (2010). Visit her booth and play the Fabulous Fair Alphabet game. More information at: http://www.afabulousfairalphabet.com/.
