Summary: Review of Laura's Star
Review: Laura spots a streak of silver shooting past her window and discovers a sparkly star nearby. She has always wanted someone to share her secrets with, and so she takes the little star home and makes it her friend. But when she wakes up the next morning, Laura discovers that the little star has disappeared. She searches everwhere, but it's no use. She thinks that her special friend may have been a dream. In this magical story a lonesome girl learns that friendshop sometimes means giving away the brightest treasures. I think that this would be a great story to teach character education. It faces the issues of depression, loneliness, friendliness, caring, sharing, and giving. It is a precious story that would be delightful to children of most any age.

Summary: Wishing on a Broken Star...
Review: Seldom do you find a book which appeals to children, yet, it also gives adults something to think about. That is exactly what this story does. A lonely little girl named Laura has no friends, no one she can share her secrets with. Until one night, when Laura is looking out her window, she sees a silver light crash to the pavement outside her house. It turns out it is a little star, which Laura can tell all her secrets to. This story is wonderful, and should not be overlooked.
