I first read this book in the 4th grade with Mr. McCloskey as a Substitue Teacher! Growing up in Maine with many blueberry fields around you can certainly connect with this adorable book. Now living far from "Home" I happened across this book in a store and had to stop to read it again. Timeless! Oh the memories! There is nothing like fresh blueberries from the field!

This is one of the cutest, sweetest children's books I have ever come across. Bite into this delicious story of simply picking blueberries and enjoying childhood. This is a must read for people of all ages who want to escape into a charming world of sweet childhood.
