Blueberries for Sal
Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey
Every summer when my girls were little, we would go berry picking: strawberries in June, raspberries and blueberries in July and August. There were wonderful wild blueberries that weād gather on hikes up Pitcher Mountain in Stoddard, New Hampshire, which reminds me so much of the wonderful illustrations in this childrenās book. Just like Sal, a character based on McCloskeyās own daughter, we usually ate more than we managed to pick (or at least it seemed that way). I remember reading Blueberries for Sal to my daughters and their cousins countless times when they were growing up. First published in 1948 and set in Maineāa true wild blueberry heavenāthis story would be a great addition to your bookshelf for both young and old. āHeather Marcus, Yankee senior photo editor
What happens when Sal and her mother meet a mother bear and her cub? A beloved classic is born!
Kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk!Ā Sal and her mother a picking blueberries to can for the winter. But when Sal wanders to the other side of Blueberry Hill, she discovers a mama bear preparing for her own long winter. Meanwhile Sal's mother is being followed by a small bear with a big appetite for berries! Will each mother go home with the right little one?
With its expressive line drawings and charming story,Ā Blueberries for SalĀ has won readers' hearts since its first publication in 1948.
