This review is from: Once There Was A Boy Boxed Set (Hardcover)
Bought these books at the recommendation of a friend and was very pleased with both their quality and content. Great illustrations; captivating stories. My almost 3 year old son loves these books and they have quickly become his new favourites.

This review is from: Once There Was A Boy Boxed Set (Hardcover)
Oliver Jeffers is one of those rare children's book authors and illustrators who can tell a story, and tell it well, through both his words and imagery. Just the right word or gesture and he captures a world of emotions. Plus, he lets us believe in magical possibilities again.We bought "How to Catch a Star" and then bought all his other books afterward. So, when this boxed set came out we bought a number of sets as gifts for nephews, nieces, and young friends.
