Reviews

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good background on Chewbacca, but my Chewie-loving Mini-Me was a little disturbed by the “tearing off your arm” reference.

Great book

[Sarah A · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one gets 4* for having some of the history of Cheebacca. In this book he is captured and rescued by Ahsoka and some other Jedi Padawans, showing off how very long a wookie's life is. Fun and nice early reader although it helps to be familiar with the series!

[Terri Pray · Rating 5 out of 5]

He loves Star Wars, so this was a book that was very easy to get him to read. He stumbled over a few words but not as many as I thought he would. Great tie in for early readers.
