The North Star Audiobook

" Again, this would make a lovely graduation gift from elementary school or even middle school. It has the charm of 'Oh the Places You'll Go' without the rhyme. The illustrations are fantastic and the story equally as entrancing. Simple and to the point...it's all about following your dreams, baby! "

" Great book to read aloud and discuss how it is our choice which paths we take in life. "

" Great book to give to a high school or college graduate...has the message of the importance of blazing your own trail and not feeling pressured to follow the path of someone else. "

" This was a bit disappointing for me. While I enjoyed the illustrations and the premise of the story, I wanted it to go in a different direction...to become more unique and interesting. The "moral" or lesson of the story seemed too cut and dry, and a little too easy. "

" Would make a nice graduation present. "

" Amazing book to read to little ones. "

" A cute book, but it seems to be trying too hard to be inspirational. The message (follow your own path) is a good one, and the illustrations are cute, but the story falls flat without reading it at an adult level. "

" It's a picture book, but it seems to be more for adults than kids. Ordinarily I love Reynolds, but this was too schmaltzy for me. I kept thinking it wants to be the next "book to buy for graduates when you don't want to give them money". "

" How I LOVE this man. Brilliant metaphor, Mr. Reynolds. You are officially a person I would like to meet. "

" The North Star by Peter H. Reynolds, 2009 is a fantasy book. A lost boy searches for his way, and many talking animals lead him to his final destination where he finds the North Star. Good book to go along with a science unit on stars - fantasy format. "

" Went to a conference where Peter H. Reynolds was a key note speaker. I had already read The Dot and Ish before I heard he was coming to speak. Excellent author, illustrator, and champion of revolutionizing education. I am a very big fan! "

" "Inspires all ages to navigate their true potential" I love how this deals with the competition of science fairs, but goes well beyond. I'm getting ready to do a Peter H. Reynolds read aloud with 5th graders and think this will be good. "

" Very easy reading with a message. There is something for all ages and most will get a different message. Let the journey begin. "

" This is a nice story about how life is an adventure and how you need to find your own way. It's metaphorical aspects are good, but may be lost on children. The story meanders and, although it conveys the message, it's probably more on an adult's level or at least a young adult. "

" So this is BY FAR my new favorite children' book! The message about following your dreams is beautifully executed. If you have a kid and invite us to a birthday party expect to get it as a gift from my little North Star! "

" This is a picture book for adults. It will touch your heart, especially if you have children "

" A powerful book for children or adults, about finding your path and purpose in life. Ask yourself where it is you want to go... an amazing message with sweet, innocent illustrations. "

" Really needed to be reminded that it is important to follow your own path and not the one others want you to be on. Fun story. "

" Not really a kid's book - kind of like "Oh, The Places You'll Go" "

" I love how Reynolds uses his considerable talents to celebrate the creative and quirky in all of us and encourages us to blaze our own trail and follow our own path. "
