  • Blueberries for Sal

    I am very happy with it. I searched for good books for my grandchildren and found the Thomas B. Fordham Institute for Advancing Educational Excellence. They have a list of the 100 best books for children to experience prior to entering kindergarten. This book was one of them. Make Way for Ducklings is another from the same author. Read, read, read to your grandchildren - even over Skype!!!

  • Blueberries for Sal

    The book is a children's classic. I bought this for my granddaughter after hearing about it from a librarian. The story line contains an old fashioned tale of a mother and daughter picking blueberries on the mountain, and the alternate story of a mother bear and her daughter picking blueberries on the same mountain, and their chance encounter together. My granddaughter will LOVE it because she and her family go blue berry picking, and they see bears. Can't wait to gift this book. Older illustrations, timeless little adventure!

    The book is a favorite of my daughter in law, so I purchased a copy for her first born son. As grandma, I also enjoy reading it to him. It's a delightful story, and Sal is a girl.
