This story is about a little boy who loves stars. He loves them so much that he wants to find one so that it can be his friend – so he decides to catch a star of his very own! He waits all day but doesn’t see any stars. Then night arrives and a star appears, but it’s too high for him to reach.

Everyone is busy, there are too many people in the house and to top it all off someone has brought a tree in to the living room. A tree!
He escapes to the roof but it begins to snow and he soon gets cold.
Will Mog’s family be able to coax him down and show him just how lovely Christmas can be?

We’ve developed a bit of a thing for Oliver Jeffers in recent weeks and Ivy particularly likes this one as it makes her giggle.
A little boy called Floyd gets his kite stuck up a tree so he throws his shoe up to knock it down. The shoe gets stuck so he throws up a cat. The cat gets stuck so he throws up a ladder. I think you get the idea!
Eventually the tree is full of random things including an orang-utan, a sink and the fire brigade. How will he get them all down?
Every time we read this Ivy runs around yelling ‘Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!’ and laughing to herself!

There’s something about this book by Oliver Jeffers that is really calming. The combination of the beautiful illustrations and the minimalist text really works well.
A little boy finds a penguin and, worried that he looks a bit sad, he tries to help him find his way home. They journey together for thousands of miles but when they get there they learn a powerful lesson.
Home isn’t always where you’re from – home is where your heart lives.
This is a truly mesmerising little book about the power of friendship.
