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.

Farmer Cap
Life is a little different in Pfeffernut County, especially when you meet Farmer Cap. He doesn't wear overalls and a cap, or boots either. And he doesn't grow regular crops. He's tried growing spaghetti and popsicles, but he ran into problems. Readers will laugh out loud when they see what the problem is. Written by Minnesotan Jill Kalz, with illustrations by Sahin Erkocak, this book was a finalist for the 2008 Minnesota Book Award, and won the Reader's Choice Award at the award ceremony .
