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.

Gladys Goes Out to Lunch
Gladys, a purple gorilla, lives at the zoo and loves eating bananas (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and maybe in-between). One day a delicious smell drifts through the zoo, and Gladys sets out to find it. To the pizza shop, French cafe, ice-cream stand, and finally to a little cart that sells (are you ready?) banana bread. Written and illustrated by Derek Anderson, anc complete with a recipe for banana bread, it's a funny story for young children and early readers.
