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.

1 + 1 = 5; And Other Unlikely Additions
The title of this book may have readers scratching their heads and wondering if the author missed all the classes in addition in school. However, this book is full of fun equations that put imagination into mathematics. Written by David LaRochelle, with digital illustrations by Brenda Sexton, this could be a nice supplemental book for children in primary math classes. It was just announced to be a finalist for the 2011 Minnesota Book Award.
