Max's Starry Night
CCBC Review:
When young Max and Little Pink, his pig, go outside to wish on a star, Big Blue, his elephant, is afraid to come because it's too dark. The next day, Little Pink teases Big Blue about being afraid, until Max points out that Little Pink is afraid of swinging on the high swings, but Big Blue never teases him. Then Max comes up with a way for all three of them to enjoy the stars in this sweet and satisfying story set against bold, richly colored paintings and featuring a creative, brown-skinned child. ©2004 Cooperative Children's Book Center
