BOOK REVIEW:
Star Wars Galactic Storybook by Disney Books is the latest offering that serves to primarily introduce young readers to the Star Wars franchise. Charming illustrations by Katie Cook portray some of the most famous Star Wars characters (Anakin, Obi-Wan, Luke, Leia, Vader and Rey) with a simplified plot that summarizes the main Star Wars Skywalker saga.
As readers make their way through the short chapters, some of the biggest events in Star Wars are detailed including Luke training with Yoda and Rey battling Ben Solo. My personal favorite illustration was the one with Luke and Yoda, which was very reminiscent of the book A Jedi You Will Be. For Ewok fans, they also make a brief appearance which always is a great excuse to bring out the Ewok movies!I do wish that the story wasn’t so simplified but realize that for the age group lots of aspects of the movies had to be left out.
This book is a padded board book which makes it durable for tiny hands and the pages are a thick card stock which makes them hard to rip. As I was writing this review, I realized that Star Wars Galactic Storybook is ultimately the story of friendship and working against dark forces. We’ve used it as a bedtime option, reading a few pages each night and it’s a great primer to the entire Star Wars universe.
