D'Andrea's book is jam-packed with great sensory details. She offers her readers a great textual experience of picking blackberries. After reading the book, young and old alike will want to go on out and pick their own blackberries. Those who have already experienced this will recall their own journey of the great search for the delicate berry and remember how sweet it was.

What a wonderful book! The story and vivid pictures are an experience for both the imagination and the senses! I loved this journey into nature and the correspondingly beautiful language the author uses.

This is a wonderful children's book. The simple story is filled with rich vocabulary and is supported with colorful illustrations. The story conveys the experience of preparing for and picking blackberries, with images that touch all the senses. This book has been a big hit with children I know from preschool through upper elementary.
