10th
Anniversary of Oliver Jeffers’ How to
Catch a Star
Oliver Jeffers has won the New York Times Best Illustrated
Books Award, Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, Irish Book of the Year and The Blue
Peter Book of the Year.
Ten years on, How to Catch a Star’s beautiful illustrations
and enchanting story continues to win the hearts of children aged 2-7, and is a
humorous celebration of joyful ingenuity and the belief that anything is
possible.
We
were sent a copy and it is absolutely lovely.
Freddy loved it and we read it over and over again, talking about the
stars and whether we could really catch one!
The simple style of the illustrations is so effective and the
storytelling is full of warmth and gentle humour. How to Catch a Star is a
lovely edition to any child's bookshelf.
We also received some glow in the dark stars which Freddy absolutely
adored. After reading the book we stuck
them on his bedroom ceiling so he could watch them as he fell asleep. Some gorgeous activity sheets extended the
How to Catch a Star experience. We also
watched a video of Oliver Jeffers, who looks like a really cool guy! Overall, I think that How to Catch a Star has
been elevated to the title of Freddy's new favourite book!
Out on the 27 March, How to Catch a Star is available from
Amazon for £12.99
