Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota.

Alphabeasties, and other amazing types
What's an alphabeastie, you ask? It's an alligator made out of a's, or an elephant made of e's, or a zebra made of z's; and that's just to start.
