Vera Brosgol provides readers of all ages with a heartwarming literary experience. As Freda thinks about all of the things she wants to save in jars, readers are undoubtedly prompted to think about things in their life that they would want to "bottle up" and save as well. Language is rich and Brosgol's extensive use of adjectives and figurative language helps readers connect with how Freda truly feels about Blueberries and other special things. The Illustrations expand on the story appropriately, reflecting and extending the text. The recipe at the end of the book is also a wonderful touch, that young readers with certainly enjoy!
Teachers can use this text:
- Anchor text for writing about favorite things
- enjoy a heartwarming read aloud
