My Pet Star

As part of Pyjamarama in 2020, we were thrilled to be able to give away 50,000 copies of My Pet Star by Corrinne Averiss and Rosalind Beardshaw to families through food banks, refuges and more.

We want everyone to join in the fun of with this wonderful book, so we've put together a collection of activities, rhymes, storytime videos, craft ideas and lots more to help you celebrate My Pet Star and the magic of bedtime stories.
