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.

I Know An Old Teacher
In a take-off of the popular cumulative story, "I Know an Old Lady...", here we have an old teacher who accidently swallowed a flea, and then an assortment of classroom pets to gobble up that flea. Written by Anne Bowen with colorful and zany illustrations by Stephen Gammell, it will have some readers begging for more, and others a little green around the gills. Fun for all ages.
