Customer Reviews

My son loves these books!

These are excellent early readers and perfect for a 6 year old mega Star Wars fan!

Pretty good book

In this book, Anakin was chasing a droid. They went onto an airbus. But Jar Jar was afraid. The airbus began to leave and Jar Jar falls into the airbus right on top of Anakin. My favorite part is when they are in a trash chute and they see spider-roaches and Jar Jar says,"Heydey ho! Snack for meesa!" There is a lesson in this book and it is alway help others because they were helping a little boy catch his droid. It was pretty easy to read.

Anakin and Jar Jar help a lost boy.

I am a teacher. I work with children who have learning disabilities. Most of the children I work with have, what the public would call, dystexia. It is very hard to find books with large print that reflect the age group I work with. Fourth and Fifth graders don't like reading books about children much younger than themselves. Most of the books with large pint have stories about seven year old children, or even younger, this discourages and bores the older child. Today, one of my nine year boys read this book with very lettle help, but most important he really liked it and laughed in all the right places. If you have a child who hates to read,( many times this can point out some sort of problem,) try them on an age appropriate large print book. This set is published by Random House and is a great place to start.
