The boy is persistent and determined, but an aura of sadness and loneliness surrounds him. He tries many different ways to catch a star, like climbing to the top of the tree to reach it, and comes up with some other ideas that turn out to be not so doable - like using his rocket ship to reach a star (except it's out of petrol from his last trip to the moon). In this story, the boy loves stars and wants one. We had already read the next book, Lost and Found, the one where a lost penguin turns up on his doorstep and he tries to help it find its way home again - such a wonderful book! This one is just as delightful, and really captures the kids' imaginations.
