Little Star’s Big Day  begins with Little Star hoping to win the big star contest set for December 25.

When he discovers all the stars are quite as hopeful as is he; Little Star cries causing his points to rust.

Little Star busies himself polishing, polishing, polishing and forgets all about checking to see what day it is.

At last the heavens were astir, angels and prophets spent much time making notes and talking in hushed tones. Little Star has a special surprise waiting for him when he realizes what day it is.

In Little Star’s Big Day a children’s Christmas Story Writer Wohlford offers a fanciful tale of a small star living way out in the far reaches of the universe.

Little Star’s determination to be the best he can be despite long odds against winning is a good lesson for children of all ages. Little Star faces up to the pitfalls facing him, carries on and ultimately achieves his goal.

The tale of Little Star is one with which children can identify.

Illustrator Schaefer’s stars filling the pages of Little Star’s Big Day a children’s Christmas Story are kid pleasing. Osage County OK First Grade give thumbs up to the art work and the narrative as well.

Little Star’s Big Day a children’s Christmas Story is a nicely presented work with shiny, heavy pages which are needed if the book is to be considered for classroom or other ‘much child’ use.

I believe this is the first Bookman Publication book I have received for review and am pleased to find it is a good sturdy product showing little sign of wear after two years of classroom usage.

Vocabulary used in Little Star’s Big Day a children’s Christmas Story leads the book to being a ‘read to’ type work for younger children and all except the strongest readers in the 6-8 set.

 Happy to recommend
