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.

Harriet and George's Christmas Treat
Here's a fun story to share at Christmas. Harriet and George are looking forward to the holdiay, except for one thing: Ms Hoozit is making fruitcake (again!). Terrible memories of past year's flash before their eyes and they try every way possible to avoid Ms Hoozit. Finally, on Christmas Eve, they see other kids getting fudge and other treats from Ms Hoozit, but they are too late to get any, and the only 'treat' left is last year's fruitcake! For lovers of fruitcake of all ages, this tale written and illustrated by Nancy Carlson, is perfect for the season.
