Book Review – How To Catch A Star
Once there was a boy and the boy loved stars very much. Every night the boy watched the stars from his window and wished he had one of his very own.
This is a story about a boy and a star by the super popular and incredibly clever – Mr Oliver Jeffers. It is actually my first ever Oliver Jeffers book and I completely understand why he is so super duper popular and publishing books all around the world – This book is beautiful and wonderful and really quite funny too. I enjoyed pretty much everything about it.

I have had such a run of great books to review in the last few weeks. This is up there with one of my favourites. It is another one that I first noticed floating around on instagram, and I should really start giving instagram more credit, because my gosh – this book is fantastic.
The cover is what initially drew me into this beauty.
A unicorn… maybe some rainbows… a little bubble helmet.
Yes. Please.

The Magic Bunny is a super sweet story about a bunny that will protect his child at night. When I first received this book, I was so excited because the bunny looked so much like Sonny’s favourite sleeping toy (named Theo bunny after the boy who gifted it to us) and I didn’t realise until turning over that it actually IS the EXACT Theo Bunny – as it is released by Jelly Cat.

I was so stoked when this book arrived at my library – I’ve seen it floating around on Instagram quite a bit and the idea appealed to me, and I’ll tell you what…
