It’s a sweet story, told mostly in pictures, with limited, repeated text. When a young bear asks his mom to make blueberry cake, she points out that they need blueberries. He sets out very excitedly and finds and picks and eats blueberries, until he is distracted by a butterfly to a field of flowers, which he picks to fill his bucket. Upon returning home, he asks his mom again about blueberry cake, but when she asks again about blueberries, he has only flowers to offer. The next morning he rises early, picks blueberries, and leaves the bucket full for his mother to find, and they enjoy their blueberry cake together alongside a beautiful bouquet, until he asks about applesauce… Its simplicity makes it great for emergent readers, and in particular, the way the same words are used with varying punctuation makes it great for teaching about punctuation and context as clues for reading with expression.
