Okay, our friends.
So today we are reading a story which I'm not sure how this has slipped through my fingers, but it has.
I thought I'd read this years ago, but I looked back and I don't see it.
So today we're going to read it.
Today's story is called Blueberries for Sal.
And this is one of my favorites.
I grew up with this story.
I think a lot of mommies and daddies did.
So this story was written by Robert McCloskey.
And he wrote a couple of other important books that we've read too.
So we're going to read today's story because it is blueberry season and the blueberries are out and we love them.
Are you ready?
Today's story is read by mommy and Philip in the house.
Here we go.
When we open the picture, we can see an old fashioned kitchen
with the mom and a kid and a whole lot of activity going on.
And it says, one day, little Sal went with her mother to Blueberry Hill to pick blueberries.
Little Sal brought along her small tin pail.
And her mother brought her large tin pail to put berries in.
We will take our berries home and can them, said her mother.
