This paper is concerned with the theory of continued fractions over \(\mathbb F_ p((x^{-1}))\) (the field of formal Laurent series in \(x^{-1}\) over the field with \(p\) elements) the polynomials in \(x\) playing the role of the integers. Improving and generalizing results of \textit{L. E. Baum} and \textit{M. M. Sweet} [Ann. Math. (2) 103, 593--610 (1976; Zbl 0312.10024)] about the unique root \(f\) in \(\mathbb F_ 2((x^{-1}))\) of the cubic equation \(f=-x/(xf^ 2+1),\) the authors give some examples of elements of \(\mathbb F_ p((x^{-1})),\) algebraic over \(\mathbb F_ p(x)\), for which the degrees of the partial quotients are bounded (in all the examples they are linear). For all examples, including the Baum-Sweet one, the continued fraction expansion is explicitly given. All calculations are based on a process that allows to obtain the continued fraction expansion of \((Rf^ p+S)/(Tf^ p+U)\) from that of \(f\) when \(R, S, T\) and \(U\) are polynomials.
