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.

Zoe's Goodbye
Seeing a pet near the end of life is a sad time for everyone. In this story, a young girl is about to lose her lifetime companion, a black and white dog named Zoe. During their final night together, Zoe wakes her owner and together they go on a magical sled dog ride through the winter woods. Written and illustrated by a veterinarian, Dr. Mary Schlangen, this will bring tears to readers' eyes, but is also a wonderful story to share with children who are experiencing grief at the loss of a pet.
