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.

Peter, Peter, Pizza-Eater and Other Silly Rhymes
Bruce Lansky is the editor (and frequently, the author) of the poems in this collection of funny, twisted versions of Mother Goose rhymes. From the title version of Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater to Peter Piper Painted Pickles, to Rub-a-Dub-Dub, and Jack Be Nimble; they're all here and all sure to make readers laugh. Clever color illustrations by Stephen Carpenter add to the fun.
