The Star Wars Little Golden Book Library (Star Wars): The Phantom Menace; Attack of the Clones; Revenge of the Sith; A New Hope; The Empire Strikes Back; Return of the Jedi

As an avid Star Wars fan myself, I was looking forward to getting my 2 year old son acclimated to the universe far far away. This book set is a great intro for bedtime/storytime for young ones. The Little Golden Book series was a staple in my childhood as well, so I had no problem giving this series a shot due to the brand name and topic alone. However, I was not expecting the story to be as well done for toddlers or young children as it is. It follows the series (episodes I-VI) in a clear way that adults will remember, but also limits the violence and more adult tones as wont for a children's story. As such, I believe that I had had as much fun reading these to my son as he did looking at the vivid illustrations (he now loves Yoda!). Each book is perfect for short storytime and can be read through with a young one in 1-2 sittings easily. I am definitely a fan and will look to purchase the other Star Wars Golden Book titles (as well as the future episode VII edition hopefully!).

Great children's books for little Star Wars fans. My grandson loves them.

Great gift for a child.

The art in these books is so eye catching. The stories are actually rather long too which is nice for a little golden book. And they do a good job of breaking down the plots to the movies as well. They even have great attention to detail. For example, Padme’s shirt is even ripped a little bit in the Battle Of Geonosis (which is of course my husbands favorite part of the prequel trilogy lol) Great books and I would definitely recommend them

These books are perfect for the beginner Star Wars fan. The first 6 movies are covered in this collection, but toned down for the younger ones. The length of each book is just about perfect for a bed time reading, if you read them one at a time, that is. The art is really cute and well done, IMO. My son is 4 and is just engrossed when I read him these. Totally quiet too, which is saying something. All in all, at a price of $21 dollars for 6 kids books, it is a pretty decent deal too, especially when your talking "Little Golden Books". I think these are something he will treasure and quite possibly read to his own kids one day. I would say that the age appropriateness would fall between 3 and 6, maybe 7. After that age, they might get a little bored with the simplistic story. I am happy I bought these.

These came tonight and, to fulfill a promise to my 5 1/2 year old son, I read them all to him, which took about 50-55 minutes. These are golden books in the sense that they do a good job minimizing or glossing over some of the violence (for example, Obi Wan is struck down, but no mention of his death and there is no explanation of how badly Anakin is mangled after his final battle before donning the iconic suit). All of the major plot points are hit in these books, so they are (1) great at giving the story and (2) super complex (the first three books in particular can be very confusing because of the the different factions). Thus, if you were imagining golden books with simplified story lines and easy to read words and concepts, think again. My son loved them and I'll probably have to get him an ewok stuffed animal (should have seen that one coming). The big take away is that these are awesome books that fully engage a child in the Star Wars universe but they are in no way easy or level appropriate for new and newer readers. Based on my son's response, I highly recommend them to you. I hope this review helps

My Grandson LOVES Star Wars and he's an avid reader so I got him this Little Golden Books Boxed set. For some reason I was under the impression that these were larger than the standard Little Golden Books. They're not though which isn't a real big deal. Each book matches up with one of the movies. The stories are good and the illustrations are nice. At just about $20 it seems a little pricey but it's still a better deal than buying the books individually. My Grandson just turned 8 and he loves the books (which is what really matters!) I took one star off because of the price.

Got it for my 5 yr old. He loves StarWars and has been reading my Omnibus from DarkHorse Comics but needed aomething lighter for him. To read and carry around. This is just the perfect Xmas gift for him!!!! Had alrrady boght the lil'golden book Aliens ABC for my babygirl before and also recommend it.

My nephews love it, and they've never seen a Star Wars movie!

Excelentes resúmenes de las películas y para que los pequeños comiencen sus primeras lecturas. Los dibujos algo toscos

Grandkids 4 to 10 absolutely loved these books. I myself was hoping they'd be a little bit simpler to read for our 6 yr old, to help with his reading skills. However I found them not really very easy reading for beginners. No matter ... they were a HUGE hit. I guess the reading also depends on the child. So good I've also ordered the I Am series.

バラバラに購入するよりお安いです。 エピソード1〜6まで収録。 日本にない絵のタッチですが、かわいい。 複雑な映画ながら、割とうまくまとまっていて、日本語版も出て欲しいなぁと。 あと、このシリーズの背表紙の金色部分、通常と違ってスターウォーズのキャラが書かれているのが、いい演出です。

Perfect quality, nice, thank you.
