Stars

A little boy loves stars so very much that he vows to obtain one of his very own. Waiting all day until the Moon comes out but no matter what he does, a star is not in reach. And then, there was more waiting, more watching, more hoping until, he say a bright streak in the sky.

Waiting and watching, day time approaches, and lo and hehold, there isa star awaiting him on the shore. And, there he has it! A star of his very own. He has a star that he can take walks with. There is no more trying to jump up and grab it, he never is able to jump up that high. Climbing to the top of the tallest tree, only means it is still out of his reach. Trying to lasso a star with his father's life belt found on his boat doesn't work either.

I love the imagination of Oliver Jeffers. Stating that the little boy already flew to the moon last Tuesday and then ran out of petrol, and thus a star would still be out of his reach.

But, a baby star that falls from the sky is just what he needs.

It only takes time and perserverence, and then a star came to him. ( )

Simple, winsome story and magical illustrations. I LOVED this book and wrote the author a letter of appreciation (-: ( )
