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.

Beaver, Bear, Snowshoe Hare; North Woods Mammal Poems
A combination poetry and science book, this includes poems about 21 animals found in the North Woods. Poetry forms include: free verse, haiku, lullabies, lyric, narrative, and sonnets, among others. The information for each animal includes a brief sketch, including their scientific name. This is the work of two Minnesotans--Cheryl Dannenbring is the author, and Anna Hess is the illustrator. Although the page layouts could have been more readable in spots; in general, this can be a resource for classes studying Minnesota animals.
