Classic for a reason 
2008-08-03
This is a simple book of a Little Sal, and Little Sal's mother, and Little Bear, and Little Bear's mother, who get mixed up with each other on Blueberry Hill.
It's very realistically written and illustrated, and the exciting part isn't too scary for little ones.
I will note that it's a bit long - maybe better for kids with longer attention spans than shorter ones. If they're as young as Little Sal is, it might be better to wait a year before reading :)
bland

I don't understand the positive reviews here or the caldecott award. The sketchings are artistically done, true, but in a way an adult can appreciate intellectually; they don't really evoke emotion. The story is a yawner.
wonderful childs book

I loved this book as a child so I got it for my
grandchildren. They aren't as impressed with
the pictures from 1950 as I was, but still is
a good story.
blueberries for sal-- 2008-03-12
sweet book for little kids. It is an excellent book to read aloud to your children and grandchildren. It is about a girl out picking berries for her mom and it shows a baby bear doing the same for his mom.

She has hundreds of books and everytime I visit she would ask me to read her this book. She loves the illustrations... especially the seal!

Children's classic 2008-01-07
I'm not sure if this book is old enough to be considered a classic, but I read it to my children many times as they were growing up and recently bought a copy for my granddaughters. They also have enjoyed the story of a little girl and a bear cub who get mixed up on whose mothers they follow on Blueberry Hill. It might make you want to take your children (or grandchildren) blueberry picking!
Excellent book 2007-12-28
This is a wonderful story for young children. I read this to my children when they were small. It is a timeless story!
A classic for a reason 2007-08-23
A wonderful book that depicts Sal and her mother's adventure on blueberry hill. Beautifully written and fun to read, my kids have deemed it one of their all-time favorites!
A little long... 2007-08-15
While I love the story, the simple illustrations and the theme, I think it is somewhat longer than it needs to be. My two year old tends to agree and begins squirming to get another book before we finish the story.
