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.

Muriel's Red Sweater
Muriel Magee, a white duck, wears her favorite red sweater everywhere. Today is her birthday, and she personaly delivers party invitations to all her friends. Unfortunately, her sweater is slowly unraveling until nothing is left. What happened? Early readers can help solve the mystery by carefully looking for clues in the pictures, and they will enjoy the surprise ending. This is written by a new Minnesota author, Dara Dohas, and is illustrated with bright illustrations by Bernadette Pons. It will be a fun book for kids to share with a friend or in a small group.
