Up high, in the dark, dark sky … a message: LOST, ONE SMALL STAR.
An enchanting bedtime story, perfect for fans of Oliver Jeffers’ How To Catch a Star. When a little boy stumbles across a special star, he puts it in a jar and takes it on adventures. Together with his big sister, he takes his special treasure with him everywhere – to the cinema, to the swimming pool and even to the toilet! But the poor star is sad and misses its friends in the sky… Can the little boy and his big sister find a way to send the star safely back home? ‘A cheery, warm-hearted tale, beautifully told’ – Guardian Sam Hay is the award-winning author of The Star Maker’s Apprentice and A Very Corgi Christmas. Sarah Massini is the award-winning illustrator of The Little Prince, retold to Louise Greig, and The Girl and the Dinosaur, The Girl and the Mermaid and The Velveteen Rabbit.Reviews

I liked staf in the jar because it was interesting because stars don’t fall out of the sky.

The book is fiction. My favourite characters was the boy and his sister who go on adventures taking the star with them until they have to return it back to the sky.

This book was really sweet and I really liked it because it had a happy ending. The boy managed to save the little star and get it back into the sky. The little star became his friend and shined bright every bedtime. The stars spelt out a special thank you message to the boy, which made him feel happy.

I liked it because they saw a star and they picked it up and put it in a jar and then the they saw a message in the sky and they put the star back in the sky and then they saw another message in the sky.
