In this story, two young sisters decide to camp out in their backyard. The older sister is a brave princess, while the younger one is a panther (who tries to be brave). They venture across a vast sandy desert (a sand box), and set up a red velvet tent among the trees. When it gets dark the spooky sounds start, and even the princess is having a hard time being brave. Written by Wendy Orr, with acrylic paint illustrations by Minnesota's Lauren Stringer, this will be enjoyed by young girls especially.
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.
