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.

Loon Baby
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.
