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.

Henry and the Valentine Surprise
It's February 13, and Henry and his first grade classmates notice that their teacher, Mr. McCarthy, has a big Valentine box on his desk. "Does he have a girlfriend?" everyone wonders. All day they watch for evidence that it might be true. The next day, at the classes' Valentine party, Mr. McCarthy has a surprise for everyone. The stories of Henry and friends are written and illustrated by Nancy Carlson. Share this one with your favorite kid soon!
