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.

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb
On the calendar, March is gone for this year--but it sure doesn't feel like it yet. And more snow forecast for tomorrow---Come On! Mr. Weatherman!--it's April 18 already!
In this rhyming story, March storms into a boy's cozy home, leaving a trail of snow, sleet, hail, and muddy footprints. The boy observes the lion's pouncing and growling, until he sneezes one day; and the lamb arrives with flowers, birds, baby animals, and Spring is finally here. Written by Marion Dane Bauer, illustrated by Emily Arnold McCully, this could be a classroom resource for weather and season units at the primary level.
