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.

Frankie Works the Night Shift
Frankie is an orange tabby cat (who incidently looks just like my cat Garfield!). He lives, and works the night shift in a hardware store, where a mouse creates a huge ruckus. This new counting book by Lisa Westburg Peters has wonderful digitally enhanced photography illustrations by Jennifer Taylor. Frankie seems to really love the night shift, but is he really working? Read the book and make up your own mind.
