Berry Magic

Berry Magic by Teri Sloat and Betty Huffmon is about a woman, named Anaana, who made berries appear on the tundra by making little different homemade dolls. When Anaana sang the song, the dolls will come to life. Wherever they go on the tundra, berries will appear. My favorite part was when Anaana sang, because it's in Yup'ik! I am a Yup'ik person too! The song is interesting. The song made the dolls turn into little people, and come out of the bag. I liked this book because Anaana never complain about the crowberries. It's an interesting book, little people turning into little people, awesome. You should read this book because you might want different kinds of berries. You will learn a little bit of Yup'ik words, only if you read this book. Enjoy the book!
