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.

Throw Your Tooth on the Roof
When an American child loses a tooth, he puts it under his pillow at night and the Tooth Fairy brings him money for it while he sleeps. This book introduces readers to other lost tooth traditions from around the world. Written by Minnesotan Selby Beeler, illustrated by G. Brian Karas, it could be used as a teacher resource for helping children at that age when their baby teeth fall out, or for a health unit on teeth.
