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.

Fawn Braun's Big City Blues
Part of the Pfeffernut County series from Picture Window Books, this is the story of Fawn Braun, a young girl anxious to leave her small town, and move to the exciting big city. Although she pretends she is already there, things just don't work right until her friend Larry Flatland finds a way to help her enjoy small town life. Written by Nick Healy, with illustrations by Sahin Erkocak, this is a pleasant story about friendship and finding happiness wherever you are (with a little humor mixed in for good measure).
