  <description><![CDATA[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. Robert McCloskey's 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. <p> <em>Blueberries for Sal</em>--with its gentle animals, funny noises, and youthful spirit of adventure--is  perfect for reading aloud. The endearing illustrations, rendered in dark, blueberry-stain blue, will leave you  craving a fresh pail of your own. (Picture book)</p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[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. Robert McCloskey's 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.<br/><em>Blueberries for Sal</em>--with its gentle animals, funny noises, and youthful spirit of adventure--is  perfect for reading aloud. The endearing illustrations, rendered in dark, blueberry-stain blue, will leave you  craving a fresh pail of your own. (Picture book)]]>

    <![CDATA[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. Robert McCloskey's 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.<br/><em>Blueberries for Sal</em>--with its gentle animals, funny noises, and youthful spirit of adventure--is  perfect for reading aloud. The endearing illustrations, rendered in dark, blueberry-stain blue, will leave you  craving a fresh pail of your own. (Picture book)]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is such a sweet story, with mothers and wee ones getting crossed up temporarily! I could just hear the blueberries hitting the bottom of Little Sal's pail. Enjoyed the illustrations in this one too--so much &quot;texture&quot; on a flat page! ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[McCloskey is a classic writer, and this story is a must read.  The story is simple but memorable.  Great for ages 3-6.  The only minus is the dated illustrations that may not captivate young audiences like they used to...]]></body>
