This interactive bedtime story proves nighttime isn't scary at all. The gentle journey from sunset to sunrise shows even the youngest children the magic of the nighttime sky—and lets them make magic happen! A companion to the popular and acclaimed Tap the Magic Tree. This board book edition is the perfect size for little hands.

What happens while you're sleeping? With lush, beautiful watercolors and cut-paper collage, Christie Matheson reveals the magic of the nighttime sky, using the same kinds of toddler-perfect interactive elements as her acclaimed Tap the Magic Tree. Wave good-bye to the sun, gently press the firefly, make a wish on a star, rub the owls on their heads, and . . . shhhh. No two readings of this book will be the same. That along with the gentle, soothing rhythm, makes Touch the Brightest Star a bedtime winner—no matter how many times you and your child read it.

“This exploration of the world at night should be inviting to even the very youngest children, who will also enjoy its imagination-fueled and child-powered interactivity.”—The Horn Book

Title: Best book for very young children that I've read in a long time!
Review: This book is absollutely wonderful. When I first started reading it, I had no idea how the book would grow and evolve and I was just pleasantly surprised at how it flowed into such a happy, comforting ending. Every page was a discovery. Enchanting little folk art illustrations. Great "little kid" vocabulary. Well thought out design. When you get to the end, you could easily see how a youg child would want to have it read to them every night before bed.But there is also a deeper value that this book has that must be mentioned and that is how it offers a valuable contribution to literacy. I realize that it is not hard to read a book aloud to young children. But, it is rather difficult to learn to become an entrancing story teller to young children. Especially itty bitty children! Many young parents try to engage their children through reading aloud, but it takes just a bit of practice and skills to hold their attention, encourage that all important interactive exchange and feel like you have changed the world that you and the young child live in because of that shared eperience of reading a selected book. (sorry about the length of that sentence!)This book just provides a natural format for successful interaction while reading and ensures a happy, satisfying ending. It is difficult not to let out a happy sigh when you see the final illustration and read the last words! The illustrations provide just enough drama for a very young child that after a few repetitions of nightly reads that they might blurt out their predictions of upcoming events in the book. These are the little things that occur during reading that make the parent feel successful as a parent who reads to their children because you can see that it makes a difference in the child. Reading aloud to children should be an insanely happy experience!This book is the unique type of interactive book where the story finds the parent and helps the parent grow as a reader to their young child. The parent and the child grow into a family that reads aloud. The child's literacy blossoms and learning is a joy. The parent becomes a story teller. Life doesn't get much better than that.Other than that . . .it was a charming story. ;-).Mrs. L.

Title: Interactive, decent story
Review: We bought this board book for our 2 year old twins. The book is interactive asking the reader to "touch the firefly" and then when you turn the page, more fireflies appear. The book has no flaps, sounds or parts. We like that the story asks them to look for things on the page and make an action. The actual story and rhyming is ok. Not the best book we have for bedtime but also not the worst.

Title: Very engaging and interactive book
Review: Great book from the author of Tap the Magic Tree. My girls really enjoy reading it with me, particularly at bedtime. It has simple ways to engage the kids as you turn the pages - touching the firefly, swiping the sky so that a shooting star appears on the next page etc.Overall a sweet, peaceful book with lovely drawings that have great details (like flowers that are closed at night and then open on the final page when daytime comes).

Review: This is for very young children. My 4 year old wasn’t overly impressed. Nice book but it doesn’t do anything, which is what expected from the terms used like ‘touch the brightest star’ and turn the page to make a change’.

Review: 子供も親もとても気に入ったのですが、表紙、裏表紙に剥がれがあったので、他人にプレゼントにするのはやめたほうが良いかと思いレビュー残します。内容は素敵だし絵も素敵でお気に入りです。
