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.

Not Enough Beds
It's almost Christmas, and Zachary's relatives have come to visit on Christmas Eve. The only problem is that there aren't enough beds for everyone. Some people must sleep in unusual places while others stay up all night. It's also an alphabet story as each person's name begins with a different letter, ending with Zachary, our star of the story. Written by Lisa Bullard, with great funny illustrations by Joni Oeltjenbruns (keep one eye on the text and another on the mice on each page!). A fun holiday story for everyone.
