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.

It's a Tiger!
It looks peaceful around here. Let's read a story. Okay? You haven't seen any tigers lately, right? As the reader and the main character start to read this story, they encounter a tiger on almost every page-turn. Mildly scary, and wildly funny, this picture book by Minnesota author David LaRochelle, and illustrated by Jeremy Tankard, is a feast for the imagination in all of us. This won the Minnesota Book Award in 2013 (children's literature category).
