How to Catch a Star

Written and Illustrated by: Oliver Jeffers
Published by: Philomel Books

Ages: 4-8
Pages: 32




The little boy in the story LOVES stars, and he wishes he could have one of his own. He wants one to play games with, and take walks with. He decided that he was going to catch a star of his very own. So he sets out at sunrise, but didn't see any stars, he sits down and waits for one to appear. Finally the boy sees a star. He tries jumping, and climbing a tree but still couldn't find it. He kept trying ideas but they all failed. Then he sees the refection of the star in the water, and tries to fish it out. But he cannot grab a refection. He gives up, and slowly starts toward home. But then he saw a golden star just sitting in the sand. He had finally caught his star! And he happily walks home with his star.
