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.

Kiss the Cow!
Mama Mae has a large family of children to feed, and she has a magic cow named Luella. Luella gives plenty of milk as long as Mama Mae says the magic words and kisses Luella on the nose. Annalisa, the most curious and stubborn of Mama Mae's children, decides to milk Luella one day. She says the magic words but refuses to kiss her. NO more milk! What will the family do now? Written by Phyllis Root with illustrations by Will Hillenbrand, this is a great read-aloud story.
