" Without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite books, both to look at, and to read to the kids. The illustrations are great, and are my favorite black-and-white (actually blue-and-white) illustration ever. Both my kids love the story, and laugh every time I read it to them, even after the hundreds of times I have done so. A classic picture book, which should be required reading for all. I always love the endpapers with the 1940's era kitchen showing Sal's Mother canning the blueberries. "
