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.

Arlo's Artrageous Adventure
Arlo is visiting an art museum with his grandmother (he'd probably much prefer to be playing baseball). As grandmother reminds him how to behave, and look at the art seriously, Arlo's imagination allows him to see the art in a much different way. Written and illustrated by David LaRochelle, the pages of this book have 50 flaps that transform the works of art into something quite different (and sometimes their neighbors too). This book will probably be most appreciated by children who have some exposure to art; but the humor can be enjoyed by all.
