Does anyone have some good picture book titles to share with strawberries or raspberries as a theme? We love Blueberries for Sal but was wondering if there is an equivalent book with strawberries or raspberries as a theme?
Strawberries are in season here and raspberries will be come the first of July. We are all set to go picking and I thought it would be fun to have some books to read.
Thanks.

My favorite strawberry book is The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear. It is so cute.
Other fun strawberry books:

It's not a story book or fiction (like Blueberries for Sal) but Gail Gibbons books are always fun, brightly illustrated, and interesting. This one has great info on all kinds of berries.
The Berry Book
And I found this one that looks interesting. It's a retelling of an Yu'pik Eskimo folktale.
Berry Magic

This is one of our favorites! My two year old loves going about saying, "Boom, Boom, Boom" and then sniffing!

For the older crowd, I have "The Compleat Strawberry" by Stafford Whiteaker. Yes, that is how it is spelled on the book. It is filled with pictures, art, poems, songs, herbal remedies, gardening tips and recipes!

This morning, I was wandering along, minding my own business, when I came across this:
Jamberry Lapbook
Perfect timing, huh?

I'm not very brave either. 
But I duly made note of this book in the recipe section of PPC.

It was a great thread, full of wonderful titles. I'm right in the middle of canning again too. We had to buy The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear. Jamberry was also a must have. The Berry Book by Gail Gibbons had a great recipe for homemade ice cream.
