My son loves the Star Wars story (though is too young to watch the actual movies) and this book is not only an enjoyable picture book for him but is also a very readable short version of the first several scenes to A New Hope for us as parents. Some of the Star Wars children's books do not tell the story well or are just frustrating to read. The text in this book is perfect for us. It is concise yet follows the storyline. The graphics are nice, too, a slightly characterized, sketchy look of real people with watercolor type edges. I hope there are more to follow this one.
We've had some of the DK Star Wars level 1 readers, and they're pretty difficult for a beginning reader. Those have too many difficult names, to where he had to stop reading all the time to ask what a word was. This book is much more friendly for emerging readers! I'll be ordering more from this series!
This was bought for my grandson, 5 yrs old, in kindergarten and learning to read. He loves it and does not tire of reading it, now reading it himself without much assistance. His mother, a teacher, states this is one of the better Level 1 books, appropriate for its purpose. There is actually a simple story line. Glad I bought it.
These books are great for new readers who love Star Wars! My son is a huge Star Wars fan and these really encourage him to do some reading on his own! The levels are slightly higher than I expected. As a teacher, I know my son is a DRA 6, however, he really does best (on his own) with the Pre-Level 1 books in this series. It may just be the nature of some of the Star Wars words that are more difficult to sound out.
Everything about this book is great -- the drawings, the writing, the plot. My six-year-old reads it to my two-year-old almost every night. I enjoy it too! I heard there's another one coming out -- I wish there were fifty more!
This is a great toddler book. Our 3 year old love it being read to him. Simple enough but not as slow as a generic "board" book with only a few words per page. I wish they did the whole movies in a series like this.
Excellent adaptation of the beginning scene of the movie. My 5 year old loved it! Art is great and being a Star Wars fan myself, I enjoyed it immensely as well. Very well done, I want to see the rest of the story adapted as well!!
great for my kids but this entire book is only the first scene of the movie.
