Dog Star
By Jenny Nimmo
Illustrated by Terry Milne
A magical story about a young girl’s longing for a dog named Star.
Although she has Tiggy, her cat, Marty longs for a dog; she’d call it Star. That night, when the Dog Star’s light beams into her room, she discovers a real live dog beneath her bed and it seems that her wish has come true. But will Star bring Marty and her family happiness?
- A brand-new format and cover look for this magical classic -- part of a series of Jenny Nimmo new cover reissues!
- "A hauntingly charming blend of magic and realism for sharing aloud or for newly independent readers to read alone," The Sunday Tribune.
