Amazon.com Review

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.

Blueberries for Sal--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)

The author/illustrator of this book has won several Caldecott Honor ...

ByJan<><on October 17, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The author/illustrator of this book has won several Caldecott Honor Book awards, and the reason is that his captivating art, combined with the charming stories are charmingly special. I had one of these books for my children. We wore out the paperback, so I simply HAD to order a replacement. The book I ordered was new. I think I'll see if I can find a worn copy that I wouldn't mind taking apart. I'll put the pages between plastic sheets and sew it together for some new mother. What a charming book for a baby and growing young child to cherish for years!

A customer told me about this book for my daughter. I was honestly surprised by how much she loves it years later! It's one of her favorites. She's looking forward to going blueberry picking this summer.

The book is sweet & simple.

Charming, classic, sweet

ByKristion July 13, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This arrived in perfect condition. It's a lovely story with beautiful illustrations. I am currently reading it regularly with my 3-year-old daughter and will be using it in my 1-3 grade Montessori classroom this fall for an author study. As an added bonus there is a Robert McCloskey exhibit with artwork from several of his books (including this one) at the Eric Carle museum through this October.

Beautiful a classic. A case of mistaken identity and a lesson about delaying gratification wrapped in the warmth of ink sketches.
