What happens while you’re asleep 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 the book will be the same. That freshness, along with the gentle, soothing rhythm of text and page turns, makes Touch the Brightest Star a bedtime winner—no matter how many times you read it. A page of facts about the stars, the moon, and the nocturnal animals and plants from the book is included at the end, making this an ideal choice for the classroom, as well. Christie Matheson’s companion to her acclaimed Tap the Magic Tree is simply stunning.
