This sweet story depicts a young girl named sal and a bear cub named little bear as they go off on their adventure for blueberry picking with their mothers. This book is a true classic and features beautiful illustrations that depict the story perfectly, and the story is fun and unforgettable!

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.

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. ( )
