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.

Birds in Our Backyard
Minnesota is home to over 400 species of birds throughout the year. This book will help young readers learn about Minnesota birds as they are seen during the four seasons. They will also learn about travel and migration, nests, habitat, and the favorite foods of various birds. The text, in poetry form, is written by Adele Porter, and the beautiful color photographs by Bill Marchel bring to life the world of Minnesota birds. This is an excellent resource for elementary bird units, and can be enjoyed by readers any time of year.
