Product Description

Review
Praise for 'How to Catch a Star' 'The best recent picture book by light years, is stylishly spellbinding.' Telegraph 'If the title sounds magical and optimistic to you, it's probably because that's exactly what this book is.' Junior (BOOK OF THE MONTH) 'A stunning debut!' Books for Keeps (NEW TALENT) 'Hail to new talent! If only all picture books could be this good.' The Bookseller

Product Description
From the rising star of children's picture books comes the magical tale of friendship and loneliness, a boy, and a penguin. There once was a boy and one day a penguin arrives on his doorstep. The boy decides the penguin must be lost and tries to return him. But no one seems to be missing a penguin. So the boy decides to take the penguin home himself, and they set out in his row boat on a journey to the South Pole. But when they get there, the boy discovers that maybe home wasn't what the penguin was looking for after all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant book by Oliver Jeffers., 6 May 2007
By DangermouseZilla "He's the strongest, he's th... (Doncaster, Yorkshire, UK.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Oliver Jeffers simply gets better and better!

This book, like his others is illustrated with his own unique style and makes this book so easy on the eye. The pictures aren't garish, they aren't overly cartoony, they are VERY cute! - They need to be seen to be believed. The picture where the penguin is left behind almost brings a tear to your eye!

The story too is fantastic, a penguin lands on a boys doorstep, it is out of place and the boy wants to take it home. This is essentially a story about friendship, and one your child will certainly want to enjoy again and again - which is good - as you'll want to read it again too!

4.0 out of 5 stars a great lesson, 20 Feb 2006
This review is from: Lost and Found (Hardcover)
This book was lovely the illustrations are fabulous and the lesson inside is one that seems so important for children - or at least I think so...
home isn't necessarily where you're from but more where your friends are...
the only downfall and reason for this not being 5 stars is that some sentences ran across pages making the flow of the story the first couple of times you read aloud a little bumpy - once you know it as well as I do though the sentences flow well...
a really lovely little book
