Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota.

Day of the Dead
The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated in various places in North America from October 31-November 2. This easy reader will introduce students to the history and activities associated with this holiday. Written by Linda Lowery, with illustrations by Minnesotan, Barbara Knutson, this is a nice classroom resource for this favorite Fall holiday.
