I read this solely to reach my reading goal lol

First sentence: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, an epic story began that has inspired generations young and old.

Premise/plot: Abrams has published several BLOCK books in recent years, this is their most recent offering, and it is Star Wars themed.

It is decidedly not a story book. It is a word book. But that's not to say the words aren't arranged in a logical order that allows a story to unfold. It does include characters--words--from all the Star Wars films to date.

My thoughts: I would recommend this one to Star Wars fans of all ages. I'm not sure it's really for little ones--toddlers who chew books. But I think it's a book that can be enjoyed by multiple age groups. The illustrations are fun.

Star Wars Block: Over 100 Words Every Fan Should Know, illustrations by Peskimo. BOARD BOOK. Abrams Appleseed, 2018. $17. 9781419728310

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, GIFT - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Every Star Wars fan that has a baby or knows someone who is having a baby will will automatically be drawn to this adorable “little” book (2” at the spine). The illustrations by the Peskimo husband-wife team are spot–on. They are arranged in chronological order from Episode 1 thru Episode 7. I demand an update as soon as Episode 9 is out! Of course, Star Wars fans will always argue – this time they can argue over the value of each word and its relative importance – I know my husband and I have had our own discussions (ie, Rey deserves her own page and MUCH earlier!)

It is like a Baby First Words book but with Star Wars characters, planets, and other items. I love listening to my three year old repeat after me "Darf Vador", "Baby-8", and a perfect "Death Star!!". I love the inclusion of many of the planet names.

4.5 Stars for including the abomination that is the sequel series O:D This was absolutely adorable and hearing my daughter try to pronounce the words was too cute! In fact, some of these were easy for her because they sound like toddler speak XD

Not much substance, but a lot of Star Wars names. I didn't even know some of them, and I've seen the movies several times.

I confess I learned a few things

[Nicole Hampel · Rating 5 out of 5]

All 9 movies characters into one fun book. AMEN to keeping this block book in my life FOREVER!

[Mia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great (but THICK) board book for families who love Star Wars! Complete with character names, location names, and various vocabulary from the franchise.

[Eve · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute, but naturally Star Wars has a lot of made up words, so not sure my baby is learning anything. Love the pictures!

[Jay Gabler · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love how absurdly comprehensive this is. Can *your* baby identify a varactyl?

I like it but mom doesn’t
