Blueberries for Sal
what parents are saying
A favorite I have from my own childhood. As a adult, I have to raise my eyebrows at the premise, but it's a sweet mix-up story that all comes right in the end. (Aug 07, 2020)

A great book for a bit of an older age. We haven't read it much because it's a bit longer and lacks colour for baby, but once she's a bit older we'll read it lots! Sep 19, 2023

A classic! Our 2 y/o will sit through this book but I think older children might appreciate it even more. Cute story line and beautiful illustrations. Jan 17, 2023

I remember loving this as a child, but now that I'm an adult I find this book to be super boring and very unnecessarily long. I dread the day my daughter asks to read it Nov 30, 2022

This was one of my childhood favorites that my daughter (2) now adores! Currently reading it every night at bedtime. Sep 24, 2013
a wonderful book and a classic. a great gift. Sep 24, 2013
A heartwarming tale about a kid (tragically named Sal) and her mother, who are forced to steal fruit from nature. Like all gifted children, Sal cannot control her behavior and almost gets killed by bears. This does not change how Santa feels about Sal, because forgiveness is the key. Jun 10, 2013
