I take every book on its own to assess merit and perhaps you need to read this as a child to LOVE it. But it is quite nice.
4/5 jars of jam. ( )

Someone has marked a few pages with blue ink.

Two rather different mothers meet each other's offspring while on a blueberry picking expedition. A sweet story with playful symmetries. ( )

A cute story full of breathtaking illustrations that compare the life of a little girl and her mother picking blueberries on a mountain as the same time a young cub and her mama bear are eating blueberries for the winter at the same mountain. I would keep this book in my classroom library for students in Kindergarten-1st grade as the illustrations explain the entire story so that students can still understand the book even if they cannot necessarily read the words fully on the pages.
