Draw Me a Star

A large, dramatic format suits this imaginative book perfectly. Eric Carle's artwork tells a cumulative story of an artist who is creating a picture, adding another element at each opening and then becoming part of the picture himself. If you wish, you could draw parallels with the story of the Creation or you may prefer the simple explanation offered by the biographical note at the end. Whatever might be read into it, this is a splendid book for its colour, its richness and its potential for thought and imagination. Highly recommended for any young child.
