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.

Birding Minnesota
For serious bird enthusiasts, here is an in-depth guide to Minnesota birds. Did you know that Minnesota is home to over 400 bird species? Arranged by biome (northern boreal, prairie, southern hardwood, northern deciduous, and the Twin Cities), the guide focuses on towns, cities, parks, and other locations around the state where birdwatching is especially good. There are detailed maps, birds to be found at each site, food, lodging and camping information, and any hazards (poison ivy, etc.) for each area. Written by Jay Michael Strangis, this is a resource for hard-core birdwatchers, and it might be a resource for high school biology classes.
