![]() My mom gave me my copy as one of my “report card gifts” after I finished kindergarten, and it quickly became one of my favourite stories. Perfect for Summer, Blueberries for Sal is a charming classic story that every child should read at least once. Their household surroundings are appropriately blue, and even their pets and toys get in on the action. On the other side of the hill, Little Bear is eating blueberries with HIS mother, and before long, the two young ones have accidentally switched places. ![]() When Sal and her mother go blueberry picking, it’s clear from the beginning that Sal isn’t going to be much help, and they are both too busy picking (or in Sal's case, eating) to keep an eye on one another. Robert McCloskey’s stunning black and white illustrations are the perfect complement to this sweet, classic story about a little girl who goes blueberry picking with her mother. As you may know, I’m a sucker for children's books with great illustrations, and Blueberries for Sal is no exception. ![]()
