Five Star Review from Mamta Madhavan for Readers’ Favorite:

Bub and Guy Wish Upon a Star by Michele Lynn Seigfried is a beautiful story of friendship for kids. Bub and his friend Guy are looking at the night sky and they see a shining star. They decided to make their wish, only to realize that it is not a star. They keep looking at it and they think its a jet. Bub is upset that his wish won’t come true and his friend consoles him. Guy asks him what he wished for, whether it was a car, a house or a barge. But Bub’s reply takes him by surprise. This delightful book of friendship, selflessness and unconditional love will surely find a place in the hearts of all young readers.

The book is beautifully illustrated so that the author’s concept comes across clearly. I found the friendship between Bub and Guy heartwarming and it also teaches kids about loving unconditionally. Parents and grandparents can use the book as a good bedtime story book for their kids and grand kids. It is also perfect for a read aloud session in classrooms and libraries. Children’s books with a concept and a message are sure winners because it’s is the best way to teach kids and this book does just that. It’s a perfect book for small kids and the author does a marvelous job in conveying a beautiful concept using very few words. It is a beginner’s book and the concept of friendship, selflessness and love is conveyed very effectively to readers. -Mamta Madhavan for Readers’ Favorite 

The words to the story:

I looked up in the sky

Late one night

And saw a star

Shining so bright.

 

I said to my friend,

“Make a wish with me.”

“When our wish comes true,

We will be happy!”

 

“That’s not a star,”

He said to me.

“Take a closer look

And you will see.”

 

I looked a little closer

And saw he was right;

It wasn’t a star

Shining so bright.

 

“It’s a plane!  Oh my!

Or maybe a jet.

My wish won’t come true

And now I’m upset!”

 

“Bub, my friend,

Please don’t feel blue.

Maybe I can help.

Is there something I can do?”

 

“What did you wish for?

Was it something large?

A car, a house,

A dog or a barge?”

 

“What I wished for,

Money can’t buy.

My wish was something

For you, my friend, Guy.”

 

“For me? What for?

Please do tell.”

“For one, I wished

For you to be well.”

 

“I wished for happiness

And warm sunny days.

I wished for fun

And flower bouquets.”

 

“I wished for hope,

Love and fresh air.

I wished for peace

And people who care.”

 

“I wished for all

These things you see,

Because you are

Important to me.”

 

 “I love you, Bub.”

 “I love you, Guy.”
