A story about a little boy who decides that a star as a friend would be wonderful. The book follows the little boy through his quest to reach the stars, and pull one down for his very own friend, "He dreamed how this star might be his friend. They would play hide-and-go-seek and take long walks". The little boy waits for morning and night, with several failed (but adorable) attempts at catching the star, when he spots one in the water. He waits patiently on the shore, until it washes up and he finds the star friend he's been waiting for.
How to Catch a falling star is perfect for both a read-a-loud or as a personal storytime between child and guardian. You could have the children stretching and reaching for the stars, and also teach them a valuable lesson about aiming high. This story could be read to infants-up to 4 or 5 year old children. I really enjoyed this book!
