Star Wars: Ultimate Duels (DK READERS) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ultimate Duels, by Lindsay Kent, is a virtual compendenum of cacophonous clashing of sabres...Yep, that is a mouthful, but the book is truly a great source of "Top ___battles in the Star Wars Universe".
Lindsay presents Weapons, Jedi Training, Sith Methods, Forgotten Menace, Duels on Naboo, Conflict on Kamino, Battle of Geonosis, Rescuing Palpatine, Battle of Utapau,Sith Lord, Great Contest, and the Death Star Duel (among others). In level appropriate language for young readers, this primer gives an overview of said battles.
For star Wars fans of all ages, this is a good product to keep readers interested and motivated. Good photographs and illustrations accompany the descriptions (as usual).
A good value for $3.99

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Boba Fettâ Jedi Hunter (DK READERS) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dr Seuss would be proud.
"Don't Wake the Zillo Beast" introduces the Star Wars Universe to young readers, and most particularly, beasts and dangerous animals. Clear pronunciation guides, and large kid friendly images make this a good book for kindergarten to grade one or two.
See the Zillo Beast eat the grass. Num..numm...
The Clone Wars are sure to continue for a LOOOONNNNNG time with books like this.

Luke Skywalker's Amazing Story (DK READERS) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As the title indicates, this book is an examination of Luke Skywalker. The focus is on Skywalker during "A New Hope." Starting out, his home life with Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen is described. In time, the adventure begins and young Skywalker comes across R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Yoda. The story of Luke Skywalker would be incomplete without a conversation about his father. The book explores the complicated relationship between young Skywalker and Anakin/Darth Vader. Simon Beecroft's writing is good for most second graders. The author employed a clever narrative device. Many of the pages leave off with an ellipsis that prompts the reader to guess the name of a new character and then turn the page to verify the answer. This interactive quality strongly lends itself to read-alouds. The illustrations are attractive as they were all lifted from the films or pulled from the Lucas archives. While the emphasis is on the time period during "A New Hope," the scope actually covers the entire saga. Luke Skywalker lived the hero's journey. Re-live his story by reading "Luke Skywalker's Amazing Story."
