3.0

This book was a nice, decent, basic middle-aged child’s introduction to Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. The book used smaller print on the pages in favor of larger photos from the movie and language/wording that was rather advanced for a Children’s book, but older children (maybe 7-10 years of age if fairly advanced) would love to read this book as their introduction to the Star Wars Universe in my opinion. Younger children would enjoy having this Storybook read to them by their Parents or Guardians at the same time as the Movie Projector Lightsaber is being used. The only issue I can really see for young kids is the small print being hard on their eyes and causing them to squint, even for elderly readers that would be an issue. But this book would definitely help give younger kids a great grasp on the events of the first Original Trilogy Star Wars movie’s events, characters, and more, which is super important to begin with. I think this book is a fantastic introduction to any child new to the Star Wars Universe who chooses to be starting with the Original Trilogy as perhaps their parents or grandparents did long ago. I certainly understood the events of the movie very clearly and very sensibly although I’ve watched this movie a thousand times, just from this Storybook.
