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.

Windows With Birds
The star of this gentle story is a gray tabby cat. It loves its home with places to climb, hide, windows to look out of, and a mouse to chase. There's a boy who fills his food dishes and scratches his itchy spots. But one day, the boy takes him to a strange new house that is high above the ground. Life is awful at first, but eventually the cat learns that this new home has wonders of its own. This is the newest story written and illustrated by Karen Ritz. It will be enjoyed by cat lovers of all ages.
