My Friend, the Starfinder

Submitted by Ms. Allana!
My Friend, the Starfinder by George Ella Lyon, illustrated by Stephen Gammell. Everyone knows, or has known, an elderly person, like an old Uncle, or maybe a friendly and wise old neighbor. In this bedazzling and whimsical story, a little girl listens to the stories her old neighbor tells her. In particular, the story about him finding a falling star is most special to her. I enjoy the layout and flow of this book. Although the illustrations are not sharp with detail, they are right for this story, and one simple but meaningful line on each page is appealing to the littlest ears and eyes.
