Ut us a Caldecott Honor Book and the publication is in 1948. It is a classic story that has won readers hearts for decades!
It is a story about a little boy, Sal, and his mother. They go to the side of blueberry hill to pick berries to bring them home to can.
Sal is busy picking berries and putting them in his bucket and sits to eat a few. Eventually Sal wanders off and is left behind thanks to his big appetite for berries.
Meanwhile there is a Little Bear and his mother eating and hunting for blueberries on the other side of the hill. Little Bear get separated from his mama.
