It starts with a chair, atop which young, pajama-romper-clad Luna stacks books. When she climbs on top of the tower, she realizes she’s barely begun. “Her quest seemed insurmountable. She had to think much bigger. She planned a complicated scheme to execute with vigor.” Brown-skinned Luna adds her bed, then a bathtub with her tallest friend inside. Plates, her neighbor’s house, and an array of animals and objects ending with a dragon come next. “Finally atop the beast she heaved a pirate ship. She grabbed a pack, a jar, a snack, and started on her trip.” The object of Luna’s desire: a star. But if the choice seems slightly precious, there’s one more playful joke in store when she returns home. “Back inside her room that night the gleaming starlight spread. She glanced around her room and wished … she hadn’t tossed her bed.” This rollicking, rhyming nonsense story features warm yet whimsical illustrations that are a perfect match for the spirited text.    (Ages 3-6)
