Simon Puttock Earth To Stella! ; illus. by Philip Hopman. 32pp/Clarion 2006 ISBN 978-0618-58535-9 $16.00 (Preschool)
The book Earth To Stella!, written by Simon Puttock and illustrated by Phillip Hopman is a wonderful story full of imagination and color. The story is about a small girl named Stella and her imaginary bed time trip to space. This fiction based book is written with colorful words that Hopman brings to life with pages full of pictures and action. The character Stella flies through space in her ship and bounces around in her space suit, each scene bright with colors. Even when Stella pretends to fly home from the imaginary space adventure, her home is warm colored and inviting. Puttock brilliantly compliments Hopman’s illustrations through a story tailored to explore a childs’ imagination. The young girl also draws the audience into the fantasy as one reads on in wonder. Once again Puttock pleases in a story that draws all ages and imaginations through a colorful little girl.
