Helping Little Star
A sweet, strikingly illustrated story of a lost star finding his way home - with a little help from his friends. "Do not go near the edge of Night Sky," warns Moon, "or you will fall off." Does Little Star listen? Of course not! He falls down, down, down, splash - right into a creek. When he asks Python to help him get home, Python flicks him out of the water, thud - right into a cave.
