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 Sick Bug
In this year full of concern about the flu, especially H1N1, here is a story that takes a lighter view of catching a 'bug'. Tess is not feeling well, and her imagination goes a bit wild when her mom tells her she has sick with a 'bug'. The fun increases as they pondeer what sick bugs look like, where they come from, and when/how they decide to go home to Sick Bug Land. This rhyming story by Susie Bazil, with illustrations by Shawn McCann carries a simple but true message about how to get better.
