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.

Red Rubber Boot Day
What is there to do on a rainy day?--the question every kid asks once in a while. In this easy picture book, readers will see the rainy day through the eyes of a young boy who fills part of his day with drawing, reading, playing with blocks, and playing 'cave' in his closet; but finally, he just has to run outside in the rain and splash in puddles in his red rubber boots. Written by Mary Lyn Ray with exuberent acrylic illustrations by Lauren Stringer, this is a wonderful book to share on a rainy day.
