Bear loves Robert McCloskey books.
This week we read
Make Way for Ducklings
This has always been one of my favorite stories.
Blueberries for Sal
- I love the parallelism. The pattern for Little Sal and her mother parallels the way the part for Little Bear and his mother is written.
One Morning in Maine
This is a story of Little Sal, no longer little, and her first tooth falling out.
I love Robert McCloskey's illustrations. They leave a lot to the imagination because there is no color, but there is a lot of detail that keeps Bear busy looking and studying. They are very beautiful. I love his choice of vocabulary and the way his stories just flow.

I never heard of that third book. We'll have to look for it, because I love the first two you reviewed!
ReplyDeleteDucklings and Blueberries are two of our all-time favorite books - I think you just can't get better than Robert McCloskey - what an awesome author! I'll have to look for One Morning in Maine!
ReplyDeleteWe've got all of these, but last time I tried to read them, The Littlest Apple wasn't interested. Maybe it is time to give them a try again! I love these books, and hope my son will too. :)
ReplyDeleteI never heard of these books. I will have see if our library has them. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to me! We read Make Way for Ducklings, and Anna was only mildly interested. The story is rather long, with a lot of references that are unfamiliar to her, and now she is more into the story that into pictures. I keep hearing very good things about Blueberries for Sal, but it continues to be missing from the library - rather annoying, since I really want to check it out.
