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.

Can't Sleep Without Sheep
A little girl named Ava sometimes can't fall asleep at night. Her mother tells her to 'count sheep'. She gives it a try, but it still takes so long that the sheep get tired and quit. They promise to find replacements, but that isn't easy either as each new animal adds to the confusion and havoc. Written by Susanna Leonard Hill, with hilarious illustrations by Minnesotan Mike Wohnoutka, this will be fun to share with young children.
