5.0 out of 5 stars Touching and beautifully illustrated story., March 18, 1998

By

This review is from: Laura's Star (Hardcover)

This book is a wonderful story about a girl who befriends and unselfishly cares for an injured star. The illustrations are beautiful and colorful, and will attract and hold even the youngest eyes (I bought it for my daughter when she was 14 months old and it was an instant favorite). Each depiction of the star is rendered in a holographic image a la The Rainbow Fish. The story, about loneliness and caring, is appropriate for all ages. This is the author's first US-published book but he teaches children's book illustration at the university level in his native Germany. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Laura's Star, July 10, 2000

By 

Laura Green (Ripley, MS) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Laura's Star (Hardcover)

Laura spots a streak of silver shooting past her window and discovers a sparkly star nearby. She has always wanted someone to share her secrets with, and so she takes the little star home and makes it her friend. But when she wakes up the next morning, Laura discovers that the little star has disappeared. She searches everwhere, but it's no use. She thinks that her special friend may have been a dream. In this magical story a lonesome girl learns that friendshop sometimes means giving away the brightest treasures. I think that this would be a great story to teach character education. It faces the issues of depression, loneliness, friendliness, caring, sharing, and giving. It is a precious story that would be delightful to children of most any age.

This review is from: Laura's Star (Paperback)

Saw this in our school library and read it to kindergarden children.
Library had a hard cover version which is no longer available. Was pleased that I could order it even though it is soft cover. The children loved the 3 D effect of the star on every page especially with the band aid. The story is very sweet and I wish there were more books like this for children.
