Stella loves the stars and Ryan, her little brother, loves nursery rhymes. Every evening Stella gazes up at the night sky through her telescope and on one special, sparkling night Ryan wishes on a star, extends the telescope all the way and starts climbing. Stella follows him but something’s not quite right that night. There’s Pegasus, the flying horse, but there’s also a cow jumping over the moon, and the Great Bear and the Little Bear have been joined by a medium-sized bear!
