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.

Always
The bond between children and their pets is often a very special one. In this gentle picture book, readers get a glimpse of that bond between a dog and the girl he lives to protect from real and imagined dangers. Friendship, loyalty, and love are all deeply felt in this relationship. Written by Alison McGhee, illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre, this is a good read-aloud for a young child.
