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.

Mom Pie
Mommy is so busy preparing a big meal for company (may be Thanksgiving) that she doesn't have time to give to her young sons Christopher and Robbie. They create their own dish, "Mom Pie", and are able to have Mommy in their own special way. If you've never had it, "Mom Pie" includes these ingredients: gloves, slippers, earrings, perfume, and her favorite color (which is found in an unusual place). Written by Lynne Jonell, illustrated by Petra Mathers, this is a good story to share with young children at holidays.
