Reviews for The Night the Stars Went Out

[carlathelibrarian · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Alien is a star shiner. He has to keep all the stars in the sky shining. He does not take a break to play or make friends. When the stars go out, he does not know what to do. He is told to get Magic Star Varnish from the planet Earth. He arrives on Earth and meets a boy and his dog. When George helps alien find the varnish they decide they have time to play before he heads back to space. Alien has so much fun. They laugh and laugh. Suddenly the stars turn back on. They wanted Alien to make a friend and learn to have fun. George and Alien become fast friends. A cute story about taking time to have fun which was not lost upon me, the adult reading this book to her grandson. He didn't get the message but he liked the pictures, especially the colourful stars. A great read aloud book to kids with the message getting through to the adults as they read.

I received a copy of this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
