This charming story follows the adventures of a little girl named Sal as she goes blueberry picking with her mother on a beautiful hillside. Along the way, Sal encounters a curious bear cub and their paths unexpectedly intertwine.

Its enduring appeal makes it an excellent choice for parents and educators looking to introduce young children to the joys of literature and the wonders of the world around them.

Color and Trace Worksheets

Whether your kids are tracing letters or words, these worksheets are perfect for helping little one’s practice letter recognition, beginning sounds, and letter formation.

Then, they get to be creative as they color in the pictures on each of the pages.

Circle the Smallest

Children will practice visual discrimination as they assess the images in each row and find the one that is the smallest.

Cutting Practice

I like to print this page on colored cardstock. I find the thicker paper easier for preschoolers to manage. Once you’ve printed the page and cut out the strips, kids will cut each strip on the dotted line.

Q-Tip Painting

Painting with q-tips is such a fun way to strengthen fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. As kids complete this page, they’ll also work on letter recognition and beginning sounds.
