Review Detail

Waiting For The Stars is a super sweet children's book.

This book is easy for young children to connect with, with its central theme of anticipation paired with friendship.
The characters; Mouse, Owl, Firefly, and Squirrel are adorable. Their friendship is heartwarming and shows there isn't much a friend wont do to see you smile.

I loved the idea behind this plot, but the story felt disjointed to me. My son 6) was a bit disappointed that the nocturnal animals fell asleep waiting for the stars, making me believe he is either too old for this story or maybe the other should have chosen diurnal animals.

The illustrations are lovely. They are elegant and playful at the same time. We loved finding the different patters in the animals.

Waiting For The Stars is an adorable bedtime story, teaching children patience & the beauty of the night sky.
