My sons both love these books. They are fun and whimsical. It is nice to find great kids books geared towards boys that have heart and a sense of humor. These are wonderful books that will be read again and again!

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.

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.

My son, mu husband, the whole family loves this boxed set. Illustration is cute and well done. The story is smart and sweet. Ideal for a little boy who loves adventures, space and have a great imagination.

I came across this box set while looking for books that might include space and such since my 4 year old boy and a few nephews are so into space and robots and other such things. I ended up buying a few sets and intend to buy more still as gifts. They were a HUGE hit and are both my sons and my nephews favorite bedtime stories. (aged 2 and 4 when I got them, now they're 3 and 5).
