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.

Bugtown Boogie
All the bugs have gathered for a party at Bugtown, which is located at the base of a big old tree. A young boy, on his way home, is drawn to the sound and light coming from the party and stops to watch the event. With a rhyming, jazzy text by Warren Hanson, and colorful imaginative illustrations by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher, this works for group readings and is also fun for individuals.
