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.

Some Dog
George, a bloodhound-like dog, has had a good life. But now he's getting old, and expecting peace and quiet, and a slower pace to life. But one day, a small, stray, yappity dog moves into his home. This dog has so much energy that the family names his Zippity. Eventually, Zippity's frenetic energy is too much, and he's banished out into a thunderstorm. When he doesn't return, George is sent to find him, and what an adventure it is. Written by Mary Casanova, illustrated by Ard Hoyt, this will have readers cheering for George all the way.
