Generations of children have loved Robert McCloskey's blueberry-picking adventure story, Blueberries for Sal. This classic is a tale of the irrepressible curiosity—and appetite—of youth. In the book, 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 trail the wrong mothers.
