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.

What Dads Can't Do
In this light humorous story, a little green dinosaur gives examples of the things that regular people can do, but dads can't; such as crossing the street without holding hands, hitting the baseball very hard, or giving a bath without getting wet. This book, and a companion story "What Moms Can't Do" are written by Douglas Wood, illustrated by Doug Cushman, and are wonderful read-alouds for young children.
