The beautifully illustrated, original debut picture book from shining talent Oliver Jeffers. There once was a boy who loved stars so much that he wished he had one of his very own. Every night he watched the stars in the sky from his bedroom window and dreamed of how he could be their friend and how they could play hide-and-go-seek together. So, one day, he decided to set about catching a star of his very own A Children’s Bookshelf Selection : Each month our editor’s pick the best books for children and young adults by age to be a part of the children’s bookshelf.

Review: Super book! - How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers was the first book that I introduced to toddler T featuring the Boy, not knowing whether she would like it or not. Since I had introduced it earlier than the age I have recommended below, it took a while before she finally took to the book. It later became a favorite for some time and she asked for it by its name. Even though she has given it a break for now (Thank God!) and we have moved to other books, I am sure she will come back to it soon. The Boy is looking at the stars from his bedroom window and the only thing he wants right now is to have one of his own. Trying his best to reach the star and catch it, the story follows him as he spends an entire day looking for a star that doesn’t seem to be appearing. Will he catch a star? WHAT WE LIKED Full paged and childish illustrations, apt for beginners to identify things. Short sentences, easy to read, explain, and understand. Fun story giving multiple morals subtly. WHAT WE DISLIKED the impracticality of the actions of the boy (from an adult point of view) though if you view them as a child, you’ll find them perfectly fine. A fine story for a young toddler to read. Published by HarperCollins Children’s Books. Recommended age 2+ years. Review: My daughter' first ever story book which turned out be her "THE FAVORITE"" - Awesome book! Easy to tell the story as book contains more pictures than texts and hence kids grasp the story easily. I told the story to my 2year old daughter couple of times and now she tells the story to everyone by herself! I have taken a video of her telling the story which is my favorite video of her. 😍 She asks everyone to narrate the story though she knows the story ver well. May be she loves to hear the story again and again. 😄 ## Features - Harper Collins Childrens Books - Great one for reading - Comes in Good condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,813 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Children's Books on the History of Exploration & Discoveries #11 in Children's Books on Computers & Technology #22 in Fiction about Emotions for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,614 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Catch a Star - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ekRRHZZLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super book! *by A***A on 30 May 2020* How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers was the first book that I introduced to toddler T featuring the Boy, not knowing whether she would like it or not.
