Book Reviews of Thomas and the Shooting Star (Thomas & Friends) (Glitter Picturebook)
Book Review: Beautiful--and Very Colorful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thomas and the Shooting Star caught my son's eye the other day when we were in a "Stuff Mart". He actually chose this book and another Thomas book over a PS2 game!
The front cover features dozens of irridescent, hologram-like stars that sparkle in a rainbow of colors. Thomas and the Shooting Star has 13 colorful pages with vibrant illustrations. Thomas and the Shooting Star tells the story of Thomas, who is having trouble falling asleep. He complains to Gordon, and Thomas spots something bright streaking through the sky. "What was *that*?" he asks Gordon.
Gordon replies "a shooting star" and gets the idea to play a joke on Thomas: he'll tell him that a shooting star runs through the sky telling the other stars how to get to sleep. Gordon urges Thomas to try to catch up with the shooting star, so it can tell Thomas how to fall asleep!
Thomas encounters a few of his friends on his nighttime excursion, and lo and behold--chasing the star *does* make him sleepy!
This delightful hardcover book is a favorite of my son's, and the best Thomas book there is, in my opinion. (My guess is that Britt Allcroft didn't write it...although her production company is listed as the creator).
Highly recommended!
