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.

Bink and Gollie: Two for One
The first Bink and Gollie story hit the streets in 2010 and won the Theodore Seuss Geisel Award for beginning reader books. Now we have two new adventures by this pair of friends. In this story, Bink and Gollie go to the state fair where they have three brief adventures in three chapters. In the first, Bink tries her hand at an arcade game; then Gollie decides to enter an amateur talent show, and finally they visit a fortune teller. All of it is good fun for two best friends. Written by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, these books are sure to be popular with young girls, and they will be laughing out loud as they read.
