What is The Wishing Star about?
Little Brown Mouse and Little Grey Mouse are the very best of friends. One night, they see a sparkling star streak across the sky and fall into the lake. Could it be a wishing star? The two friends set off down the river in their little boat, eager to find it. But they are not the only ones searching, and there is only one star to wish upon. As their race unfolds, the mice discover that friendship may be the most wonderful wish of all.
