While thrifting at the Goodwill I saw this book and thought how perfect! I looked at the first page QUICKLY (there is a reason why I am emphasizing quickly, wait for it) and saw that it said "little Sal." That's what we call Roman all the time, because he looks so much like his papa bear. Even more perfect! Not. Apparently I am oblivious to the classics. I was completely unaware until reading that Sal is a little girl. Oops. Even the illustrations make it seem that Sal could potentially be a boy. Nonetheless, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to introduce blueberries to my "little Sal" again. (He wasn't a big fan the first time around) He ate a couple and then got a bitter one and didn't want anymore, but he did seem to love the book. He stayed in his high chair the entire time and it's pretty lengthy for a 13 month old. It really is a cute story and I love how all the pictures are in dark blue ink, as if drawn with blueberry juice.
