Win How to Catch a Star! by Oliver Jeffers

Posted on March 25, 2014January 23, 2019 by jenny

Once there was a boy and the boy loved stars very much. One day he decided he would catch one of his own, but first, he’d need a plan.

This year sees the 10th anniversary of world-renowned illustrator Oliver Jeffers’ debut picture book, the much-loved How to Catch a Star. The book has achieved huge critical and commercial success and Oliver and HarperCollins are proud to mark the anniversary in style with an exquisite gift edition, including a letter from the author and previously unpublished drawings.

Ten years on, How to Catch a Star’s beautiful illustrations and enchanting story have won the hearts of children all over the world. Perfect for children aged 2-7, it is a warm, poignant and humorous celebration of joyful ingenuity and the belief that anything is possible.

This is a great story which my 4 year old really enjoyed. As well as the book we were also sent some activity sheets which extended my children’s enjoyment of the story, we loved the maze, dot to dot, puppets and making a mobile (click on the links and you can download them too!).

How to Catch a Star is available from Amazon for £12.99 from the 27th March.
