From Booklist
Gr. 1-3. In this Step into Reading title, Star and her friend, Blister, discover the joys of "duck" tape. In the first episode, Blister has a hole in his bike tire. After chewing gum fails to patch the leak, the friends turn to duck tape, and then, in a frenzy of duck-tape fever, they repair everything from a backpack to a doghouse. In the second story, Star's older sister, Ivy, notices that Star's paintings resemble the styles of Picasso, Matisse, and van Gogh. Determined to make her art her own, Star adds duck tape to her final masterpiece. In the last episode, the friends take their taped flashlight out for an evening of stargazing. The duck-tape references get old, but the art information and warm friendship between Blister and Star distinguish these stories, which will help prepare children for chapter books. Appealing watercolor art illustrates the rhythmic text, which is filled with enticing sounds and repetition. Gillian Engberg
