5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on the theme of Perseverance
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019

I bought this book for my 7 year old daughter. She loved it so much she took it to school and read it to her 2nd grade class. They all loved it. :) The schools word for the month is Perseverance, so it fit in perfectly. She loved finding the little mouse on all of the pages and we had a good discussion on how the little girl didn't give up but kept trying creative ways to fix the problem until she succeeded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great message for kids!

I loved the primary message about helping others and the secondary message that you will sometimes be rewarded for your kindness. Such cute illustrations too! My four boys loved following the mouse throughout the story, curious to see where he would be and what he would be doing next.

I love the story so my kids too. The little kids didn’t understand at first that the dog was the star, but it was a very nice end. They will eventually understand.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little girl and her star
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2019

A nice little story for pre-schoolers and maybe up to seven or so. The English version is a translation from Portuguese and perhaps loses a little flow or subtlety, but the kids will still enjoy the story. I liked the additions at the end which gave the kids some facts and things to do.

My girls wanted to help put the star back to. They loved the child like drawings, so now I'm going to have to write a story for them to illustrate! They also now the answer to one of the questions but they're keeping it a secret!
