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 Christmas Baby
It's a little past the holidays, but I just read this new book from Marion Dane Bauer. It is a simple retelling of the Nativity story; how Joseph, Mary, and the donkey found a welcoming place in the stable for Jesus' birth. It also celebrates the timeless joy that families experience when they welcome a new baby into the world. With illustrations by Richard Cowdrey, this is one for families to share and enjoy.
