How to Catch a Star

Product Information

How to Catch a Star; a book well worth reading as it encourages our children to believe in their abilities and dreams and tells them through persistent determined efforts you will be rewarded with your dreams coming true. The detail Jeffers goes into in the boys quest to get his prize is reminiscent of any child who longs to fulfil their dream – they’ll try anything to succeed. When choosing bedtime books I generally let the kids take turns in picking what we will read with the exception of baby Jack who right now has no interest in literary content unless it tastes good, literally. Oliver Jeffers made a name for himself in children’s books with this title and it’s not hard to see why when you turn the pages.

You can check out their many Pokémon Go and Pokémon Sword and Shield guides and coverage here on iMore. When you wake up the next day, you will find Star Fragments washed up on the shore, just like seashells. While best known for the Magic Wand and Zodiac Furniture, Star Fragments are used in many other recipes. The images within themselves stand alone as little masterpieces – and set this book apart from many others in this sector.She said that it was all about trying really hard, doing your very best for what you want and in the end you will make your dreams come true.

Hailey is 7 and is more than capable of reading the short text in the book yet she too was enthralled, primarily by the vague, crisp images used, as she could see herself in the boy and recognized her own surroundings in that which the boy found himself. Since this is the only way to get Star Fragments and meteor showers are relatively uncommon, you'll want to make the most of the nights when you have the chance. We follow the boy through the 32 illustrated pages and it is clear from the outside that this is one determined little boy, trying various sometimes hilarious ways to catch a star of his very own.This is fantastic for children who have little or no English and still images from the animation can be used to scaffold or stimulate writing. How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers is a great EYFS and KS1 space story to use alongside Twinkl teaching resources during your space topic.

I also love the story ‘Katie and the Starry Night’ which works beautifully with the Oliver Jeffers book and can lead to art activities based on the Van Gough painting.

If you have friends who play Animal Crossing too, open up your island and invite them over for the meteor shower! If you show her one of the special Zodiac Fragments, she will also tell you a story about the Zodiac in question. Celeste's presence has been greatly expanded in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which is one of the best Nintendo Switch games. From 7 PM until 4 AM, hundreds of shooting stars will cross the skies on your island, but only on especially clear nights.
