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.

Reading With Dad
A picture book for all ages, this story demonstrates the power and joy of reading together as parent and child. It begins by illustrating the importance of fathers reading with their child, and continues through the life cycle until the child reads with the parent in old age. With a gentle rhyming text by Richard Jorgensen, and pencil/pastel illustrations by Warren Hanson, it is also a wonderful 'thank you' gift to give your dad who read to you as a child. (I saw myself in this story - many of my favorite childhood memories were of my dad reading a bedtime story.)

Thanks for pointing this one out. I'm always looking for more titles for my "dads" list.
