Synopsis
From the creator of The Box Turtle comes a clever and stunningly illustrated bedtime story about doing (and building!) whatever it takes to reach for the stars
Luna begins her stack with a single chair. But it's not quite tall enough. So she adds a stool, then some books . . . and her bed . . . and before she knows it, she's thrown a pile of plates, a bathtub (currently occupied), and a whale up there too. And yet the stack still isn't tall enough. Finally, after she flings and slings bigger and wackier things into the stack, and then climbs and stretches just so, she is able to reach into the sky for just what she wants: a star of her own to use as a night-light!

Reviews
K-Gr 2-Luna wants to catch a star, but she's too short. That doesn't stop her, and she begins to stack objects to get her closer and closer to the stars. Her stack starts like many climbing stacks do-with a chair and some books. But soon, Luna finds she needs more height, so she adds a whale, a car, a pirate ship-and so much more!-until she finally grabs one star to take back to her room. Roeder has written and illustrated a fun story about a young girl's fear of the dark-and how she uses her imagination to soothe her fear. Using shifting perspective in the illustrations to emphasize just how high Luna has to climb, the colorful artwork captures the creativity and movement of her tossing funny, unexpected objects onto the stack. The text and art take on a momentum and direction, moving readers along, up, and down, and all around. VERDICT Save for noisy story hours, for while young readers will enjoy discovering what Luna finds to toss on the stack next-they may have suggestions for contributions of their own.-Jessica Schriver, Rutgers Univ., Camden, NJα(c) Copyright 2011.
