In the tradition of Blueberries for Sal, author of I Wish It Would Snow! Sarah Dillard presents a witty and whimsical tale of a young bear who can’t get enough of his favorite treat!
There’s nothing Little Bear loves more than delicious, delectable blueberries. And one of the very best ways to eat blueberries is in Mama’s sweet, scrumptious blueberry cake. But when Little Bear goes to pick berries so Mama can fix him a treat, he can’t resist eating them all! Can Little Bear figure out how to save some yummy blueberries, or will he once again come home empty handed and never get any blueberry cake?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A bipedal brown bear cub's desire for blueberry cake leads to a blueberry-picking journey in this humorous picture book by Dillard, relayed solely through speech bubbles featuring concise, repeating prose. "Flowers?" the cub asks, extending a wild bouquet to their apron-wearing parent. "Blueberries?" the parent replies. "No blueberries," the cub replies on the next page, checking their red bucket. "No blueberry cake," answers the parent. Despite setbacks, a happy ending awaits, as well as new cravings for the indomitable cub. Fine-lined digital art, showcased in a blend of full spreads and comic-style panels, and rendered in a bright, summery color palette, offers a striking level of detail: plants in the Maine-like setting have individual, minuscule fronds and blossoms, and the bears' coats feature near-realistic strands of fur, contrasting with their cartoony personalities and energetic movements. A warm, Blueberries for Sal–leaning slice of summer for any reader. Back matter features a note revealing the story's personal inspiration, as well as a blueberry cake recipe. Ages 4–8.
