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.

The Science Project That Almost Ate the School
Thinking of a science project can be a real challenge for some students. That is the case for the girl in this story. But one day she sees an ad on the internet for "Professor Swami's Super Slime", and decides it will be perfect for the basis of her project. Unfortunately when it arrives, the slime is hungry and grouchy, and it eats everything in sight. With a rhyming text by Judy Sierra, and wonderful illustrations by Minnesotan Stephen Gammell, this is a fun book to share with any class.
