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.

Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night
In her latest book, Minnesota poet Joyce Sidman, features nocturnal animals and other sights and sounds of the woods at night. Beautifully illustrated with linoleum cut designs by Duluth artist, Rick Allen, this is very comparable to Song of the Water Boatman, which won a Caldecott honor. This will be an excellent classroom resource for elementary science classes.

It won a Newbery Honor in 2011. Fantastic news for Joyce Sidman.
