Oliver Jeffers' How to Catch a Star
A boy wishes for a star of his very own. He imagines all the ways he and his star can play. Will he ever find one? Oliver Jeffers is a maker of art. He has written and illustrated several picture books, and How to Catch a Star was his first. Some of the activities in this unit are drawing the starry sky, sorting sensory bin items, and painting a planet.
