I think this book was very informative for much younger children, around ages 1-3, that you may be trying to introduce to Star Wars and the universe/world-building aspect of the seven episodes (it doesn’t include Episodes 8&9, as it was published before then). The book is simply a series of words, including character’s names, locations, vehicles, feelings, and aspects that are described that are part of the Star Wars universe. Each section of the book, which although not pointed out as being separate sections is distinctly separated per movie, includes essential and key words, ideas, vehicles and planets from each film Episodes 1-7 including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It’s a very simplistic book, the pages are hard cardboard as in a board book, and the book is shaped square like a block. I think children would enjoy the fact that some of the pages are cut around the shape of the images on them revealing the next page behind them, etc, making it fun to flip the pages and advance on in the book. It’s also very easy I’d think for parents to wipe any grime or mess from the book pages due to being hard coated cardboard. I really like the artwork in the book pages and the different artwork style of the characters, it’s a very distinct design style and I enjoy it, the characters designs are memorable. The font styles are cute and match the subjects well. Overall it’s a short book that’s super informative and a great way to introduce young children to the wider Star Wars universe. I have rated it three stars due to the fact I don’t believe I would pick it up again to reread.
