Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey

Blueberries for Sal

Taken from Children's Books - In 1949, this charming book was designated a Caldecott Honor Book. The two human characters in the story, little Sal and her mother, are said to be based on Robert McCloskey's wife, Margaret, and daughter, Sarah. When Sal and her mother climb Blueberry Hill to pick blueberries another mother and "child," a bear and her cub, are climbing up the other side of the hill to pick blueberries. The story of how "Little Bear and Little Sal's mother and Little Sal and Little Bear's mother were all mixed up with each other among the blueberries on Blueberry Hill" contains the perfect blend of humor and suspense for young children. McCloskey's black and white illustrations are full of movement and life.
A great story for sequence and characters.

Here's a pic of my blueberries for tasting.  Happy summer!
