Customer Reviews

Good for kids

My son loves star wars so I got this for him. It's a fun book; a little easy for him to read, but he still love to pick it up and look at the pictures.

Non-violent and thrilling for little kids!

My son is obsessed with this book. It offers many introductions to the various strange characters in "Star Wars". It is hard enough to be interesting but not too hard for a K student or 1st grader. I'm thrilled that it doesn't show light sabers and fighting!

great book for the young star wars fan

My five-year old absolutely loves this book! He's an early reader, but still, it would engage any kid who's into starwars...

a great read for padawans

Narrated by C-3PO, "What is a Wookiee?" takes the reader on a tour of the various types of characters found throughout the Star Wars universe. In addition to meeting robots like R2-D2 and the pit droids, the tour features creatures such as Jabba the Hutt, Sebulba and of course Wookiees. The book covers the entire sage, from episode I to VI. What "Star Pilot" (also by Laura Buller) did with machines, "What is a Wookiee?" does with George Lucas' characters. In terms of the reading level, the book is perfect for most first and second graders. Both the pictures and text are large for young readers. While some illustrations are from studio stills, the majority of images are from the films. Most pages feature a vocabulary word that is reviewed on the last page. "What is a Wookiee?" should be in every young Star Wars fan's library.

My 7-year old LOVED it.

This book is narrated by the Star Wars character C3PO, who introduces the reader to a number of the characters from Star Wars. The pictures are very good. The text was at just the right level for my 7-year old son. He was delighted to read it out loud to me, as he really wanted me to know more about the Star Wars characters he so dearly loves. This is a great price for a book many children will enjoy.
