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.

Buddy Unchained
Buddy is a loveable mixed-breed dog who is happy in his new home. He tells the story of his former life with a family who did not care for him properly, how he was rescued, and how he came to live with his new family. A gentle story with a lesson about caring for animals and the role of humane societies. Written by Daisy Bix (pseudonym for Minnesotan Emilie Buchwald), and illustrated by Joe Hyatt, the book includes endnotes and resources about caring for a dog.
