How to Catch a Star

"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!

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.

Obviously story and book is good . But now I can understand why we got product on lesser price through Amazon. Last page of the book has torn. Although packing was super good but i think thats defective one. Which they have delivered to me.

Lovely visuals and engaging story. My two year old son loves it

This book is awesome for kids. My girl loved the book and wanted to read the book again and again. Recommend this book.

Very good book to kids with imagination of such pictures

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. 😄

Love all three books in this series. This story is our most favourite. She sometimes wakes up and asks for her star book. Illustrations are simple and beautiful. One or two lines per page. Easy for 2.5 yr old to concentrate on a single scene. The words used are perfect as they are what she has been learning nowadays. So helps reinforce her learning.

A charming and beautiful book for younger children

Now this little fella has 5 more starry friends. I bought this book as part of a baby shower gift and it’ll be a perfect partner to the baby blanket with stars I crocheted. I hope the parents and the little twinkle in their eyes love it. On top of that, the story is cute and simple and I’m sure that a lot of the kids getting this book will adore it.

Molto molto carino, semplice ma di effetto. Me ne sono innamorata subito. Non se sortirà la stessa reazione sull bambina a cui voglio regalarlo, ma visto con gli occhi di un adulto smuove nell'anima corde sensibili

Excelente para ler em inglês com as crianças. A história prende a atenção e tem uma mensagem bonita.

Superbe histoire. Facile à lire en anglais et à traduire pour les petits qui ne comprennent pas encore. Très poétique elle nous emmène dans un joli rêve d'enfant. Mes fils de 5 et 6 ans ont aimé autant que moi
