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.

I Can Play it Safe
Here is a book that parents, teachers, or childcare providers can use as a basis to discuss personal safety with young children. It also can be used to help children practice the rules of personal safety, including a "check-in" rule, listening to their gut instinct when something doesn't feel right, good and bad touch, etc. Written by Alison Feigh, safety specialist for the Jacob Wetterling Foundation, the book is a useful tool for parents, teachers, and caregivers.
