Children's Book Review: Blueberries for Sal

Blueberries for Sal, by Robert McCloskey, The Viking Press, New York, 1946.
This is a very fascinating story about a mother and her child, blueberry picking, and a mother bear and her cub, also blueberry picking.  I expected the worse, but with good luck things turned out well in the end.  It took Sal's mother a long time to gather her blueberries, because her child and the bear cub both liked to eat from her bucket.
