Best kids book!

My wife is from Maine. And this is a classic in our family! We love Robert McCloskey!

Grandchild loved it!!

One of my grandchild’s favorite stories. He actually sat still and afterwards he discussed much of the story with me! Love it!

Wholesome!

I remember my mom reading this story to me back in the 1960's and now I'm reading it to my grandkids (and listening to it at bedtime!). It's a great story about blueberries and bears.

Annoying

I used to like this book. It was cutesy and (I thought) the PERFECT book for little kids. That was before my younger brothers heard it and started quoting it non-stop. Then it was annoying. After about 7hrs of hearing, “Sal picked all the blueberries she could reach without moving/ Sal brought her little pail to pick blueberries in and take them home and can them for next winter/Sal is a spoiled brat, who doesn’t care about anyone except herself.” I was about ready to throw the whole book out the window. Fine book. Would ONLY recommend for kids who don’t love to quote stuff.
