Day 8. Blueberry Day
#BlueberryDay

I‘d never heard of a cat named #Blueberry but it suited him because he was very sweet. He and his buddy Smokey were part of the shelter where I used to volunteer before it closed. Their story was kind of complicated, but I‘m glad they found a nice home for their senior years. #summerspecial

One of my all time favorite books growing up 💙

How freaking cute is this story!? Sal and her Mom are going to pick blueberries, but a bear cub and her mom are on the same errand! I can't believe I haven't read this sooner... McCloskey is just one of those children's authors who really understands the assignment. I would get this particular illustration tattooed in a heartbeat! :) #MensaKidsExcellenceInReading K-3

Blueberries for Sale is a RF story that my mother and I read a lot together when I was a child. I read this book and memories of all my blueberry picking trips came flooding back into my memory and I found a new love for Sal and her blueberry picking ways.This Caldecott winner would be used very well as a RA. #UCFLAE3414SP20

Robert McCloskey‘s book won the 1949 Caldecott Medal book for these great illustrations. This fantasy book follows a young boy (Sal) and his mother as they go blueberry picking. Little do they know, Mama bear and little bear aren‘t too far away, also in the mood for some blueberries. This would be great for PR and CR. #ucflae3414f19

Caldecott Honor Blueberries for Sal, by Robert McCloskey, is a great read aloud or partner reader. This book is about a little girl named Sal who goes picking blueberries with her mother. She ends up eating more than collecting and loosing her mother and following behind a mama bear. When the bear realizes that it is not her cub following her she is startled. This is a great book to teach about storing food for winter. #UCFLAE3414F19

“she heard another noise in the bushes and thought 'that is surely my mother and I will go that way. But it was little bears mother instead“

I like that this book includes momma animals and baby animals, just like Sal and her mom.

I really liked this book. It was a good, light read that teaches small lessons to children.

“Little Sal struggled along behind, picking blueberries and eating every single one.“

Winner of the Caldecott Medal. It had a plot that is may not be plausible but it cute and interesting for a good read. it contains a good group of characters that help elaborate the story and compare to each other. showing different sides helped portray the overall outlook of the book and make it more enjoyable.

Cute story that talks about a bear and daughter getting separated from their moms while picking blueberries. I loved when they switched moms on accident and lost their way!

“Little Bear” she said, “eat lots of berries and grow big and fat.”
This quote is short but I thought it was really cute.

This is a perfect simple book for children with short attention spans and who enjoy animal interaction. It is silly and fun!

I really enjoyed this book because it was cute and mixed children with animals. This book shows that animals and humans can do similar things.

“Now Sal, you run along and pick up your own berries”

The illustrations urges children to compare and contrast by being careful about what they see.

Won the Caldecott honor book. It‘s still relevant today and it‘s a good story because it urges children to build independence and mischief.

“Kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk” (when the blueberries drop into the tin bucket.

Sal going to pick blueberries in the field with her mother.

The Caldecott winning book is a simple read about an accidental swap of a bear cub with a child “sal”. But how do they find their way back to their mothers in the end?
