Stella auttaa kotimatkalla puuhun pudonneen toivomustähden avulla montaa ystävää. Sivu sivulta tähti pienenee ja jakaa onnea ympärilleen. Kivasti toteutettu idea.

Kuvakirja toivomustähdestä ja apua tarvitsevista ystävistä.

[Markku Kesti · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sellainen ihan peruskiva hyvänyöntarina. Ei mitään varsinaista vikaa, mutta se suuri ja loistava idea puuttuu, mutta se ei liene tässä iso ongelma. Lämminhenkistä turinointia kuiten.

Toivomustähti toteuttaa pieniä toivomuksia ja Stellalle tulee hyvä mieli. Kauniit kuvat ja hienona erikoisuutena pienenevä tähdenmuotoinen reikä kirjassa.

My 3.5yo son enjoyed this book and wanted to read it a second time. It's a cute book about a sweet bunny who helps friends by giving up her wishes

[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Young readers will particularly like how the yellow wishing star in the center of the book decreases in size over the course of the book just as happens in the book. Like so many youngsters, Stella is fascinated by the idea of wishing on a star, and when she finds one in a tree, she ties it to a string and then her bike. But before she can make a wish of her very own for her own needs, she comes upon several other animals in need, and she realizes that the right thing is to use the wishes in that star to help them out. Her animal friends are grateful, and Stella ultimately decides to use her very last wish to free the star and send it back into the sky where it belongs. Youngsters won't be able to miss the messages of compassion and generosity in the book's pages. Soft blues fill the book's pages, making readers feel as though they are watching the world settle down to sleep.
