A quiet comedy of errors ensues when the young ones wander off and absentmindedly trail the wrong mothers.Blueberries for Sal--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.
