A magical story about the importance of kindness and friendship, perfect for sharing at bedtime.
When a little girl finds a lost star, she takes it home and cares for it, just like a beloved pet. She reads it stories, makes it special snacks and tucks it into bed at night. The more she cares for the star, the brighter it glows. Until, one day, it’s time to let go …
A heartfelt story about caring for others and learning to let go, from BAFTA award-winning writer and CILIP Greenaway-nominated author Corrinne Averiss and beautifully illustrated by award-winning illustrator Rosalind Beardshaw

I really liked it. It was very calming. I really liked it being a rhyming book.
I love the stars in this story.
I loved this book and I want a pet star too. The illustrations in this book are great. I like going outside to look at the stars. I’m doing about space in school when I go back in September.
I liked the star because it shines bright. I enjoyed reading it
It's about a girl who finds a star that has fallen and takes care of it then it goes back out again into the sky.
Little girl finds a star and she helps it
The star is brightness, he need love and time and care.
It is about a child who finds a star who’s poorly and gets him better by taking care of it. The child wants to have an icecream with the star in the park but it only comes out at night. Finally the star feels better and gets its shine back and flies back to the sky. I would recommend this book.
It is a very nice story about a child who finds a poorly star, treats him and gets him better. I like the pictures. The star goes back but shines brightly and the child waves to it. I would recommend this book.
I love that the book is a big poem, everything rhymes.
I liked it in the book when the little girl washed the star and made it clean.
The girl was so nice when the star fell down. It would only wake up at night.
I thought this was interesting and I want to have a pet star too
Lovely story exploring the themes of caring and then letting go.
It was fiction and I like made up books qlot bc it feels like the future I know its fiction because stars don't fall out of the sky
I recommended it!
I liked the person in the book and especially his pyjamas and bunny ears :)
I like this magical book, happy that the star was recovered.
This is a really nice book, I would like a pet star
My favourite character is the star. I like it when he goes back to his friends
This was a lovely book to read to daddy
Cute
Love book, very cute story
I was sad when he missed the Ice cream
I liked it because when the girl took care of a dirty star and she cleaned the star and gave the star a midnight snack.
I like the start fly back into the night sky.
Good but sad
This book made me feel a little bit sad because the star was away from its family and its home, but the little girl in the story was a good cosmic vet and took good care of the star.
Throughly enjoyed and independently read. Well done!
I think it is nice to save injured animals and take them back where they belongs to.
