Rating: Summary: Everyone likes blueberries Review: This is a good book for kids because animals are in it,and they talk.It's about a five-year-old;his mother and a little bear,and its mother. The two stories parallel each other and children can compare the two stories. There are pictures on every page. All the pictures are in blue. It's simple to read,too. If I graded this book I would give it three stars.
Rating: Summary: A classic. Review: This is a story of a young girl picking blueberries with her mother and a young bear picking blueberries with its mother. As they amble along picking berries and eating them, the bear gets seperated from its mother as does Sal get seperated from her mother. The story is gentle from beginning to end. It brings back many memories of picking blueberries and eating them faster than you can pick them. This is a classic that I grew up with and my children are growing up with now. The pictures only enhance the text and are very gentle and sweet. The theme of the story is very nice and reassuring to young children. Well worth the time and money to buy this book. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Classic Review: This is a story that you were probably read as a child. It is one of those wonderful stories, so rarely written in this day of commercial tie-in books like Bob the Builder and such, that both the child and the parent can enjoy together and even both get a good chuckle out of. If you are looking for a fun children's book with great illustrations, this is for you.
Rating: Summary: Review of Blueberries for Sal Review: This is the story of a little girl that goes blueberry picking with her mother. She is helping her pick blueberries but she is more concerned with eating them then she is with keeping them so her mother can make things with them. At the same time a mother bear was picking blueberries with her cub too stock up for the winter. The cub was doing the same thing as Sal and eating the blueberries faster then he was picking them. The cub and Sal did not follow their mothers. They just wondering off eating there merry way around the mountain. Eventually Sal and the cub end up all mixed up and with the wrong mothers and they set out to get with the right ones again. I love this book. It is a great tale and it is so much fun to read over and over again. The pictures are great and so realistic. I think this really is a good book for children to read and I think it is one that they would really enjoy reading too. This is definitely a book that I want for my class collection and I think the author did a really good job at making this book fun and full of adventure.
Rating: Summary: Timeless Review: This title never goes out of fashion. Great to read with "The Biggest Bear" during "B" week at school.
Rating: Summary: The one book that stands alone in my memories of childhood Review: This was one of my favorite books as a child and I have passed the book on to my daughter. The pictures and story are excellent accounts of the misadventures of children, human & animal alike. Every mother with a small child can relate to the mischievous & innocent thoughts of wanting to eat more than they care to pick
Rating: Summary: Wonderful children's book Review: Whenever I ask my 3-year-old granddaughter to pick some books for me to read to her before she goes to bed, I know that "Blueberries for Sal" will be one of them. This gentle story of Sal and her mother and Little Bear and his mother picking blueberries on the mountain is one of her favorites. There is enough repetition in the story that I can pause and my granddaughter will fill in with "Kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk" or whatever other words fit in the story. Losing one's mother and getting lost are great concerns for children, so the happy ending of this classic is very appealing to little ones. This is a highly recommended children's book.
