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.

Tango; The Tale of an Island Dog
Tango, a pampered Yorkshire Terrier, lives with a wealthy Manhatten couple. His sweet life changes when he is swept off the couple's yacht during a storm and he washes up at a small village on Prince Edward Island. An intersting cast of characters help him to recover from the trauma, while teaching lessons about loyalty, courage, and advocating for yourself. Written by Eileen Beha (who divides her time between Minneapolis and Miami), this story will be enjoyed by animal lovers.
