5-Minute Star Wars Stories (5-Minute Stories) : Lucasfilm Ltd.: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Perfectly pitched for my 5-year-old son - My son adores these stories. He was stepping up from the level 2 reader Star Wars books, and these represent a significant step in complexity, but these were bang on his reading ability and have been pitched perfectly. The illustrations and text per page work really well, while the story elements have been carefully selected and framed so as to avoid any nightmares or difficult conversations about (for example) Luke Skywalker getting his hand cut off. Excellent. Review: Great for Star Wars fans - Really nice book colourful pictures, brought for my granddaughter

Perfectly pitched for my 5-year-old son
My son adores these stories. He was stepping up from the level 2 reader Star Wars books, and these represent a significant step in complexity, but these were bang on his reading ability and have been pitched perfectly. The illustrations and text per page work really well, while the story elements have been carefully selected and framed so as to avoid any nightmares or difficult conversations about (for example) Luke Skywalker getting his hand cut off. Excellent.

Excellent Quality Book
Amazing hardback book. Arrived today and my son was so pleased. The illustrations are also very good. There are 11 short stories generally between 15 and 18 pages. A perfect length for bedtime stories.

Beautiful illustrations
This book is beautiful. Short stories and beautiful illustrations. My 6 year old loves it. A nice book for him to read himself that seems grown up. Would make a lovely gift as it’s quite large and excellent quality.

Great book with a couple of caveats
This is a fantastic collection of short stories. My two Star Wars mad boys have been asking for just this book before bedtime for the last month since we got it. It's got a good variety of stories from all the movies, including the latest Force Awakens. I'm only removing a star because 1) my boys complained that Kylo Ren is not in it! They haven't actually even seen the Force Awakens movie, but they know about the character so they were really eager to see him in a story; and 2) Some of the pictures like of the Rathtars and the Rancor monster are pretty scary/ugly looking - might be a bit much for little ones. I took to those with a black marker and coloured in the worst bits so they don't have to have nightmares after reading them!

Nice quality
Better than I thought in terms of quality, stories are just the right length for bedtime and age appropriate.

Outstanding quality
So often I find kids books are cheap rip offs, particularly franchise related things. This one breaks that trend! Quality hard back, nice illustrations, my 7year old immediately fell in to reading it and told me to go away. In one purchase I have already started looking at other books they do!

Bought this for the kids in my Grade 5 class. They loved it. Now my 5-year-old grandson runs to get it each time he comes over. Easy reading, short stories that highlight aspects of the movies. The stories are not in chronological order, which bugs me, but does not concern my grandson - so I'm cool with it if he is!

Fast delivery. Thank you

As far as the content of a children's book, I found that both me and my daughter enjoyed the stories. It fills a nice niche between stories kids learn to read themselves and a bit more complex of stories that parents read to older kids.

It was the best book I got

I ordered this for my 7 year old Star Wars fan grandson for Christmas. I was very impressed with the quality and content. It is a padded hardback book and very thick as shown next to the pen. It contains eleven stories (table of contents pictured). This book has a very nice blend of beautiful, child appropriate illustrations and readable text. I feel like my grandson can read it on his own but not feel like it's a little kid's picture book. At the same time, it would be a great read aloud for smaller kids too with plenty of illustrations, and each story should only take about 5 minutes...great for bedtime routine!
