When this book lands on your shelf it will become a much loved part of your family, I have no doubt. Written and Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers and first published by Harper Collins Children’s Books just over ten years ago. The Author/Illustrator Oliver Jeffers did not disappoint in his premier work “How to catch a Star”. He loves the large books with lots of visually appealing illustrations with fewer words as he is not reading yet and primarily communicates & understands the world around him through pictures. This week our bedtime story was chosen by Conor (who camps out in Easons Bookstore in Castlebar every time we go in). So he can choose a half eaten book for himself out of his little pile that I will read to him later. 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. With the start of the school year now in plain sight we are getting back to our little traditions of book reading in the evening or at bedtime. Over the summer however we lost our way with books and out doors excursions took over. We are a house of book lovers there is no doubt.
