Review: The sweetest story you'll ever read - "How to Catch a Star" by Oliver Jeffers is a charming tale about a boy's quest to catch a star. With simple yet captivating illustrations, Jeffers conveys a heartwarming story of determination and imagination. The book's whimsical tone and universal themes make it a delightful read-aloud for young children, inspiring them to reach for their dreams. Also, my 2 year old loves it! 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. ## Features - Harper Collins Childrens Books - Great one for reading - Comes in Good condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,029 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #14 in Children's Books on the History of Exploration & Discoveries #22 in Fiction about Emotions for Children #24 in Children's Books on Computers & Technology | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,585 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Catch a Star - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ekRRHZZLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sweetest story you'll ever read *by I***N on 17 March 2024* "How to Catch a Star" by Oliver Jeffers is a charming tale about a boy's quest to catch a star.
