About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
OLIVER JEFFERS graduated from The University of Ulster in 2001 with First Class honours. His outstanding talent has been recognised by several high-pro?le awards, including the Nestlé Children's Book Prize Gold Award.Lost and Foundanimation was broadcast on Channel 4. Oliver lives and works in Brookyln, New York.
PreSchool-K–In this whimsical picture book, a young stargazer decides he wants to catch a star. He ventures out at sunrise since he believes the stars will be "tired from being up in the sky all night." He waits all day, only to see one at sunset. The many schemes he concocts prove ineffective, and the sad child heads home along the beach. When he sees a sea star washed up on the sand, he is happy at last to have a star of his own. While the boy's original plan is counterintuitive, the rest of his schemes hold true for what a young child might dream up. The stylized watercolor cartoons are droll and lighthearted, resonating well with the tone of the story. Pair this with Kevin Henkes's Kitten's First Full Moon (Greenwillow, 2004) to share some nighttime adventures at storytime.–Rachel G. Payne, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
