Hopper and Wilson Fetch a Star by Maria Van Lieshout- ADVISABLE

Van Lieshout, Maria Hopper and Wilson Fetch a Star. PICTURE BOOK. Penguin Young Readers Group, 2014. $16.99. Content: G. 

Hopper and Wilson are great friends.  One night as they look up into the sky, they discussed how wonderful it would be to have their very own star. “It would make a great night-light.” Hopper said. “Or a lantern for nighttime adventures!” Wilson peeped. “Let’s go fetch a star!” Hopper and Wilson fold their paper airplane, fill the tank with lemonade, pack their flag and a snack and head off. But not before saying goodbye to their cactus! Hopper and Wilson then set off on an adventure that will solidify their friendship and bring magic and meaning to the night skies.  

The illustrations in this book are so much fun!  You can’t help but want to hug Hopper yourself!  The story is sweet and simple.
