Blueberries for sal

Blueberries for Sal children's book. A perfect story for the opening of Blueberry Season.

I have been posting blueberry dessert recipes because me & my little sal picked over 3 lbs of blueberries in Michigan and we needed to use them! It was the BEST time. And L was an amazing little picker! I had so many moments of thinking back to the book - whether it was her overalls, her little blond pony, her little pail, her saying "kerplink kerplank kerplunk" when she would drop them in.... It was just so fun - here are some photos of my sal & the book sal :)

Goodbye to summer and all its tall-grass, ripe berries, hazy days goodness. Blueberries for Sal Robert McCloskey 1969 For anyone who doesn't know the story- Sal and her mother go blueberry picking on one side of the hill while a mother bear and her cub are on the other. McCloskey's drawings are classic.

Blueberries for Sal- Illustrated by Robert McCloskey- interesting choice in using black and white.

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. This 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.
