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.

Big Brother Has Wheels
While kids are growing up, they often remember (with envy or admiration) an older brother or sister who got to do things they couldn't do yet. This picture book tells the story of a big brother who loved wheels and got to drive all kinds of vehicles--from a tricycle (as a child) to a golf cart (as a grandparent)--during his life. Words describing movement are set in different fonts that visually portray their meaning. This is a unique perspective on the topic of transportation. Written by Patrick Mader, illustrated by Andrew Holmquist, this is a story to share with family members of all ages.
