Chelsey ，

This short story is filled with beautiful drawings on a young boy and his journey to catch a star。 Through trying every way possible to catch a star in the sky， he eventually finds one on a beach and takes it home。 This short story connects the wonder of a small child and uses the theme that all dreams can be achieved， though it may not come the way you think it should。 It is an easy read for emergent readers。

I couldn't actually find this book on its own so I read it in The Boy: His Stories and How They Came to Be。 It's a quiet but cute little story。 I couldn't actually find this book on its own so I read it in The Boy: His Stories and How They Came to Be。 It's a quiet but cute little story。 。。。more

This book is very similar to Bringing Down the Moon。 The pictures are so good I love The Boys series。

A very cute book。 My 2。5 year old boy loves it a lot and would request me to read to him repeatedly every day。

One of my favourite books to work with in the classroom。 Kids love it！ It's fun， unpredictable and gives you space for reflexion！ I wholeheartedly recommend it if you're a teacher， parent or if you want to have a fun time！ Also， the illustrations are gorgeous！ One of my favourite books to work with in the classroom。 Kids love it！ It's fun， unpredictable and gives you space for reflexion！ I wholeheartedly recommend it if you're a teacher， parent or if you want to have a fun time！ Also， the illustrations are gorgeous！ 。。。more

Reflections and lessons learned:Is there anything more grounding and yet meteoric as a star？ Aha - a star falling into the sea… sweetly magical

Valerie Doherty ，

This is a lovely tale about a boy who wants to catch a star because he loves them so much。 It's a dreamy， simply told story that would be a perfect bedtime read aloud for the dreamers and sky watchers among us。 This is a lovely tale about a boy who wants to catch a star because he loves them so much。 It's a dreamy， simply told story that would be a perfect bedtime read aloud for the dreamers and sky watchers among us。 。。。more

Really Good

Alana ，

Not as good as Lost and Found， but there's just something about the illustrations in these books that really captures my son's attention。 The idea of capturing a star is precious， and I look forward to talking my kiddo to the ocean one day to see if we can see a starfish。 Not as good as Lost and Found， but there's just something about the illustrations in these books that really captures my son's attention。 The idea of capturing a star is precious， and I look forward to talking my kiddo to the ocean one day to see if we can see a starfish。 。。。more

Cómo atrapar una estrella， es un libro bueno para primeros lectores， se caracteriza por ilustraciones geométricas las cuales quizás no sean tan llamativas para los niños debido a que también es bastante simple y con pocos elementos ilustrativos， pero a pesar de su sencillez a los niños les puede gustar bastante。 Es fácil de leer para los primeros lectores y de una extensión adecuada， el desarrollo del libro es claro y llamativo al hacer pensar en cómo conseguirá la estrella el protagonista。 Es u Cómo atrapar una estrella， es un libro bueno para primeros lectores， se caracteriza por ilustraciones geométricas las cuales quizás no sean tan llamativas para los niños debido a que también es bastante simple y con pocos elementos ilustrativos， pero a pesar de su sencillez a los niños les puede gustar bastante。 Es fácil de leer para los primeros lectores y de una extensión adecuada， el desarrollo del libro es claro y llamativo al hacer pensar en cómo conseguirá la estrella el protagonista。 Es un buen libro para trabajar con primeros lectores！ 。。。more

Fernanda Tala ，

Nosotras como grupo opinamos que es un libro bastante sencillo， agardable de leer， sobre todo para primeros lectores。 Opinamos que no respeta totalmente la inteligencia de los niños al ser tan simple。las páginas poseen mucho espacio negativo y eso hace que el libro deje de ser llamativo para los párvulos。Sus ilustraciones son sencillas y geometricas， los colores son claros y opacos。Algo que ayuda mucho a los primeros lectores es el hecho de que repite las palabras constantemente。

A super cute story， wish I had the boy’s spaceship 😂❤️

My son at age 7 is quick to tell you that he's outgrown picture books。 So I'm not sure how Oliver Jeffers manages to pull him in so consistently。 There are five picture books beside his bed right now， and only this one is by Jeffers and it was the only one he'd touch。 God Bless you Mr。 Jeffers！ My son at age 7 is quick to tell you that he's outgrown picture books。 So I'm not sure how Oliver Jeffers manages to pull him in so consistently。 There are five picture books beside his bed right now， and only this one is by Jeffers and it was the only one he'd touch。 God Bless you Mr。 Jeffers！ 。。。more

I liked the story and was surprised with how they managed to catch a star。 I didn't care for the illustrations though so it won't be a reread here。 I liked the story and was surprised with how they managed to catch a star。 I didn't care for the illustrations though so it won't be a reread here。 。。。more
