A baby loon and his mother are looking for supper in the middle of a lake in the great north woods. Mama loon dives and is gone a very long time. So long in fact, that baby loon is sure she isn't coming back. Lonely, wet, and lost, he cries the loneliest cry -- when suddenly, Mama loon is back -- and she has supper! This simple picture book is a first book for author Molly Beth Griffin. The watercolor and ink illustrations by Anne Hunter add to the admosphere of the story.
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.
