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.

Sleepyhead Bear
A young bear just wants to take a nap on a hot summer day, but he can't because of the noisy pesky bugs who are keeping him awake. What can he do? Growling and roaring don't work, but readers will want to stay and see what finally happens to the sleepyhead star of this story. Written by Lisa Westberg Peters, illustrated by Ian Schoenherr, it's a funny, rhyming story for young children and early readers.
