Draw Me a Star by Eric Carle
We are big fans of Eric Carle, and our 13-month old adores such classics as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, The Mixed-Up Chameleon, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Draw Me a Star contains the same wonderful collage illustrations that Carle is known for, but this is simply a beautiful book. In some ways, a creation story, Draw Me a Star populates a world beginning with a star, which then asks for a sun, which asks for people, who ask for a house, and so on until the story comes full circle with a moon asking for a star. The book is wonderfully done, and babies and young readers alike will find someething here to latch onto.
