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.

Snail and Buffalo
Buffalos are big - and they can do things - like lick salt, thrash, charge, and cake themselves with mud. By comparison, snails are small, slow, and often afraid. Read this story to see how a seemingly insignficant creature can impress the mighty buffalo. At the same time, you will learn about friendship, bravery, and the importance of individual differences. Written by Jim Lattimer, illustrated by Tom Curry, this was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1996.
