Win a Copy of How to Catch a Star

*Winner is Natalie Crossran*

 

Can you believe it is 10 years since Oliver Jeffers wrote How to catch a star? Well I can actually as my son, my eldest, is 10 this year and we had this lovely book when he was teeny tiny.

We were lucky enough to be sent a beautiful presentation box with posters and puzzles and bits and bobs in to celebrate this book and we want to celebrate it with you too. It is a modern classic.

We really love this book. It captures the innocence of childhood wishes so beautifully.

Oliver Jeffers is a true artist and adults and children alike just love his pictures. Here is my daughter reading the book and eating icecream (life is perfect sometimes isn’t it!)

She’s been doing some colouring too….. I like to encourage the artist in her

Would you like to win a copy of this fabulous book?

If you would like to win a lovely hardback copy of the fabulous book please tell me your child’s favourite book and leave a comment below.

For a second entry pop and like my facebook page and pop back and leave separate comment telling me you have .

Comp ends midnight on April 25th and winner will be picked at random

Good Luck!

T&C’s : Over 18’s and UK residents only please. No alternative prize.
