I offer a bounty to any MOB reader who finds me an old hardcover of the Blueberry Pie Elf. Thank you for understanding why I’m obsessed.

Thanks for the photo of the book. There is an awesome used bookstore in the mountains and I’ll keep an eye out for it.
My mother had the same quest for Ferdinand the Bull. When Beanie Babies were hot and came out with a little red bull, she bought as many as she could get her hands on, thinking what a great gift it would be with the Ferdinand book. Then she discovered Ferdinand was out of print. She was an early ebay devotee and even there, old copies were way out of reach.
Shortly after she died, I found it reprinted in a collection of children’s classics (along with Corduroy and some other well-loved stories, and I loved giving it away with those bulls on her behalf!
So we’ll look for your bloobs and see what we find–I love the thrill of a chase!

This was one of my favorite books along with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (I clearly have an obsession with food). I totally forgot about it; thanks for bringing back the memories!

I know how you feel about your book. I’m that way about books I loved growing up. I’m like a dog with a bone with them.

I can attest to the fact that homemade blueberry ice cream IS delicious. TJs had a vat of them on sale yesterday, and now I regret not buying them
