Kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk go the blueberries into the pail of a little girl named Sal who--try as she might--just can't seem to pick as fast as she eats. Robert McCloskey's classic is a magical tale of the irrepressible curiosity--not to mention appetite--of youth. Sal and her mother set off in search of blueberries for the winter at the same time as a mother bear and her cub. A quiet comedy of errors ensues when the young ones wander off and absentmindedly trail the wrong mothers. P IBlueberries for Sal/I--with its gentle animals, funny noises, and youthful spirit of adventure--is perfect for reading aloud. The endearing illustrations, rendered in dark, blueberry-stain blue, will leave you craving a fresh pail of your own. (Picture book)

 Classic for a reason August 3, 2008

This is a simple book of a Little Sal, and Little Sal's mother, and Little Bear, and Little Bear's mother, who get mixed up with each other on Blueberry Hill. br / br /It's very realistically written and illustrated, and the exciting part isn't too scary for little ones. br / br /I will note that it's a bit long - maybe better for kids with longer attention spans than shorter ones. If they're as young as Little Sal is, it might be better to wait a year before reading :)

I don't understand the positive reviews here or the caldecott award. The sketchings are artistically done, true, but in a way an adult can appreciate intellectually; they don't really evoke emotion. The story is a yawner.
 wonderful childs book April 15, 2008

I loved this book as a child so I got it for my br /grandchildren. They aren't as impressed with br /the pictures from 1950 as I was, but still is br /a good story.
blueberries for sal-- March 12, 2008
Michelle Polk (Mississippi, USA)
sweet book for little kids. It is an excellent book to read aloud to your children and grandchildren. It is about a girl out picking berries for her mom and it shows a baby bear doing the same for his mom.
My niece loves this book January 16, 2008

She has hundreds of books and everytime I visit she would ask me to read her this book. She loves the illustrations... especially the seal!
