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.

Mrs. Watson Wants Your Teeth
In what could be a sequel to Countdown to Kindergarten (posted on Nov. 21, 2007); in this story our heroine is about to enter first grade. However, a second grader has just told her a very scary story about her teacher, Mrs. Watson. Reportedly, Mrs, Watson is a 300 year old alien who steals the teeth of earthling children. That is very scarry for someone with a loose tooth. Written by Allison McGhee, illustrated by Harry Bliss, this is a wonderful story to share with children going through this developmental stage.
