How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers

This creative story mesmerizes children through the imagination of a boy.

A boy who wants to catch a star.




Reading tips:

1. Take it slow and easy. This is a truly beautiful book and the imagination of the boy in the story is turned into pictures very cleverly on each spread. The kids love looking around the pages for the story points.

2. Slow down at intriguing turns in the story. There are a couple points where you realise the boy has a fertile imagination - on the 'out of character' page where he thinks back on the day when he took his rocketship to the moon. ... Every other page could have happened. This one, purely imaginary, give a clue that there may be a creative ending in store!

3. Have fun!
