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.

The Princess and Her Panther
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.
