WAAAAGGGUHHHtastic book that will make you smile. Would have loved to get this book sighed by Peter Mayhew - one of the nicest people I ever met at comic conventions. If you have a Chewbacca fan in your life this is the perfect gift book - guaranteed to bring a smile and lots of fun to them!

I bought this book for my brother, who is 35, for Christmas this past year and when it came in the mail I literally sat and played with it for an hour and a half before my fiance finally took it out of my hands and told me to stop it because I'd wear out the batteries. Stupid adults.
For the next two weeks I was obsessed with it. He tried to hide it from me all over the house but I found it. Oh, I found it.
The first time I did, I laid in wait for my cat to get close and pressed one of the buttons just to see if he understood Wookiee. He didn't...I still have the faint scratch lines to prove it. Needless to say, the book was re-hidden while I was preoccupied with pouring peroxide into my flesh wounds.
The next time I found it I taunted my fiance by pushing ALL THE BUTTONS while sprinting away from him and cackling like a mad woman as he tried to reclaim it from me. Yeah, he's faster than I am. Also, I'm ticklish and was forced to abandon it due to his threats of making me piss myself.
The final time I found it I answered the phone with it. FYI, best way to deal with solicitors EVAAAAAAAR.
"Good evening Ms. Litchick. I was wondering if you've ev-"
"HAAAARUUUUUUUAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!"
"Um...excuse me?"
"AUUGGGGHHHHHAAAAAARRRRRR!!!"
"I'm sorry, do I have the right number? I'm trying to reach a Ms-"
"BAAAAAWAAANAAAAAA. MUUAAAAAHHHHRRRRNNNNNAAAAA!!!"
What the hell do you say to that? Nothing, that's right.
If you're a Stars Wars fan you should own this. And you better be a Star Wars fan because who hates Star Wars? You know who? These people:
You don't wanna be those people do you? No, no you don't. Tell those Trekkies to suck it.

Oh and FYI, I just got my very own copy of this in the mail. Let the endless hilarity begin!

I'm not going to write a full review because the level of awesomeness of this book kind of speaks for itself.. What I am going to do is show you how I felt the entire time, from when I got to know that this book exists, when I finished it, and how I feel now (forever).
This was me when I heard from Litchick that this book existed:
This was me when I got it in the mail:
This was me when I read it:
And this is how I feel now:
(and by him, I obviously mean the book)
So.. GO BUY IT!!! MUST HAVE!!! --> Should be on everybody's bookshelf.

Educational and funny! The About the Author/Artist section tucked in the back is not to be missed.

This book is a perfect goofy gift for any Star Wars fan, no matter their age. The board book style pages make it safe for little hands, but the silly text on each page will make older fans giggle. And who can resist the little noisemaker with different recordings of Wookiee speech? As one reviewer said: GRAAAAAAAHROWOW

The short version first . . .
The “Star Wars” franchise covers a large amount of space here on Earth. With the impending release of the newest movie “The Force Awakens,” new “must have” items abound. Include on your list of things that might be needed for your Jedi Padawan “learner” the bilingual with audio accompaniment children’s book by Wu Kee Smith ”>How to Speak Wookie: A Manual for Intergalactic Communication.
This brief work focuses on practical verbal communication with your favorite furry denizen of Kashyyk, home world of the Wookies. There is a handy audio module included within the published work with a small button allocated to each in the 10 double-pages of the “board” bound presentation. The audio covers the pronunciation of the first phrase at the top of the numbered page, although there are other definitions with a correct Shyriiwook (the name of the Wookie language) written rendition for the correct pronunciation of the other phrases on the page. Each page also provides Standard English information about the phrases and in what situations each might be appropriate. Included are additional items of information about Wookies, their home planet of Kashyyk, and interesting tidbits about their culture and society as well as their abilities both intellectual and physical.
Designed for the use of children, the English vocabulary is at the very least 3rd or 4th grade level. Moms and dads will find some help necessary if your child has problems with language or pronunciations and meanings of the more difficult words. Of course being able to sound like Chewbacca (the primary Wookie in all the last 4 of the Star Wars series Episodes 3-6, specifically), will be an added incentive to learn new and interesting facts about their favorite big “fuzz ball,” as Han lovingly calls Chewy.
This is a fun book that just about every Star Wars fan of any stripe will enjoy and get pleasure from the “real” Chewbacca pronouncing the words on the audio module renderings. One point about the audio module for parents to note is the use of small batteries in the device to provide its power. The battery access door is secured with a small Philips head screw which looks to be about a size 0 or 1, one of the types found in most micro-tool sets that are available at any store that sells tools including home improvement stores as well as Walmart and other general departmental type stores.
My rating is 5 stars as it delivers what it purports to deliver, a Wookie phrase book, with audio presentation of the main phrase on each page. It is designed for children 9 or 10 years old and up. It will be most appreciated by many of the Star Wars fans on your shopping list. Parents may need to help with pronunciation of big words particularly for younger readers. May the Force be will you all. It is certainly meant for the “learner” in all of us.

This is a deceptively clever book, with lots of little in-jokes and Star Wars references to keep older fans happy. The language doesn't fall into the standard picture book trap of being babyish, and the illustrations are awesome. Even the sound recordings are actually distinct from each other, which was a pleasant surprise.
September 3, 2012
So, it has the little box where you press the buttons and it makes noise...it gives you the 'correct pronunciation' of the phrases. I have always loved the books with the little sound buttons, but this one was pretty neat.
March 5, 2013
This book is tremendous! The only real trouble is that it's only 10 pages long. My favorite page is the page on going to the art museum - I can now proudly say "This is so post-modern" just like a Wookiee. The sound feature was a brillant move.

This was a really cute book, but didn't have much substance. A great beginners book for very young kids or a great book for Star Wars fans.

Got this for Christmas last year as I joke from my boss. I read it with Luke all the time. Great book for fans of Chewbacca!

Have you ever wondered how to speak like Chewbacca? Well, now you can learn how to use Wookiee words in various settings and circumstances: on public transport, at the mall, in a meeting, in a cantina, at an art gallery, etc. Comes with written and audio examples to help you practice. Everyone should GRRRAOOOWWW GRUHHH, RUUHR-AHR AHHOWWW GRUH-ROW-OW, and get this fun book for kids & fans! :)

For that young child in your family who really loves Star Wars and wookiees. I guess I'm still that young child.
A quick read. I got this as a "Star Wars fan who has everything" kind of gift.

W 1978 roku George'a Lucasa poniosło.
W owym roku w amerykańskiej telewizji CBS został po raz pierwszy i po raz ostatni wyemitowany film nazywany najlepszym z najgorszych, a mianowicie świąteczne wydanie Gwiezdnych Wojen, Star Wars Holiday Special. Produkcja spotkała się z niedowierzaniem, oburzeniem i silną niechęcią, by nie wyrazić się dobitniej. Fani serii, która dziś otacza nas ze wszystkich stron (nie licząc lodówki, bo tam już siedzą kucyki Pony), dzielą się albo na nielicznych masochistów, którzy dla zasady faktycznie próbują ten koszmarek obejrzeć, albo na psychicznie zdrowych, bowiem tych nie dotknęło ich szaleństwo Lucasa w najwyższej formie.
W tymże wybitnym dziele zagrała cała obsada Gwiezdnych Wojen, mamy więc Carrie Fisher, Marka Hamilla, Harrisona Forda, Aleca Guinessa, są aktorzy wcielający się w roboty C3PO i R2D2, wystąpił Peter Mayhew oryginalnie ukrywający się pod kostiumem Chewbaki, do tego słyszymy James Earl Jones, czyli głos Dartha Vadera, ogólnie cała śmietanka. A mimo to coś bardzo mocno nie chwyciło. Coś zazgrzytało, zaryczało i wielokrotnie uderzyło się czołem o ścianę. Coś podkusiło George'a Lukasa do zatwierdzenia każdego dnia nagrań Star Wars Holiday Special, choć ponoć jednak tych decyzji żałuje. Jeszcze raz: to jest coś, czego George Lukas żałuje. Co więcej, powiedział kiedyś, że chętnie odnalazłby każdą kopię i roztrzaskał młotkiem. Tak. To jest aż TAK złe.
Gdyby nie to, że fani zachowali kopie, a w dobie internetu wszystko można wrzucić na YouTube i dzielić się z innymi do woli, prawdopodobnie przetrwałaby jedynie legenda, bo twórcy chcieli jednak tego potworka zamieść pod dywan i gwizdaniem odwrócić uwagę widzów.
Niestety trudno odwidzieć to, co się odwidziało.
Generalnie chodzi o to, że przez większą część filmu głównie oglądamy rodzinę Chewbaki, która szykuje się do ichniego odpowiednika świąt Bożego Narodzenia w oczekiwaniu na powrót marnotrawnego syna, osławionego poszukiwacza przygód. Rodzinę Wookieech, którzy na siebie ryczą. Porykują. Odrykują. Zarykują. Podrykują. Mamy ryk-fest, nie licząc innych ciosów poniżej pasa i całego festiwalu żenady.
Tak czy siak, święta się zbliżają, spora część świata niezdrowo podnieca się nowym Star Wars: The Force Awakens, którego premiera za pasem, więc czemu nie zmarnować trochę czasu i zdrowia psychicznego na Star Wars Holiday Special? Hm, tylko jak obejrzeć ten film i przeżyć... Odpowiedź brzmi: Z pożytkiem! Czyli jak dokładnie? Już wyjaśniam.
Co prawda ta plastikowa głowa Wookieego może się przyśnić w nocy, ale za to jak pięknie ryczy!
Wystarczy wziąć do ręki poręczne rozmówki, a zarazem przewodnik po zwyczajach gatunku, a następnie zmierzyć się ze specjalnym filmem świątecznym podchodząc do niego jako do materiału treningowego! Co prawda nie ma specjalnego rozdziału poświęconego celebracji Dnia Życia, który obchodzi rodzina Chewbaki w filmie, ale za to mamy cały przekrój różnych innych przydatnych sytuacji i podpowiedzi, jak się zachować, a także co powiedzieć. Galeria handlowa czy galeria sztuki, stok narciarski czy park, bar czy biuro, w każdym miejscu na planecie Wookieech Kashyyyk z taką pomocą odnajdziemy się z powodzeniem. W komplecie do tego na każdej stronie możemy przesłuchać wymowy jednego ze zdań i porównać z pisownią danego wyrażenia!
Książeczka to niezły ubaw nawet bez przerażającej perspektywy oglądania świątecznych Gwiezdnych Wojen, można sobie porykiwać, wciskając guziczki, czytać komentarze autorów, przyglądać się ilustracjom, na których uważne oko znajdzie całe mnóstwo odwołań, żarcików i mrugnięć do fanów. Opis autorów na ostatniej stronie wywołuje zdrowe parsknięcie śmiechem. Błagam, Woo Kee Smith? Piękna gra słowna, sprytnie schowana. A jak plastikowy Wookiee-nauczyciel się zmęczy i zachrypnie wystarczy wymienić baterie i ryczeć dalej w najlepsze.
Jeśli dalej nie rozumiesz, jak to działa, zerknij na tę fascynującą prezentację ryków i zacznij naukę nowego języka już dziś!

Okay, so this book isn't actually that amazing of a book, except for the fact that it's star wars, and the whole reason I bought it is to give to a huge star wars nerd in Japan as a gag gift. It will be great, his reaction is going to be amazing and that anticipation is probably what is driving half of my enjoyment.
There is no real story, it's just a bunch of 'wookie' phrases and the situations wherein you can use them. There is quite a bit of humor that the child this book was purchased for won't get, but that's because this book is not actually marketed towards children below the age of three, despite the fact that it's a board book. No, this book is solidly marketed towards their parents, those who grew up in the 80s and 90s and watched the originals and are full of nostalgia. That's the intended audience of this book. It hits that target beautiful. The parents will chortle along with their kids as the parents read the words and the kids hit the sound buttons, both will be happy...right up until the parents get tired of the sound and pull out the batteries.
Anyway, I found it amusing. I also read it with entirely too much of a linguistic mind and can assure everyone involved that Wu Kee Smith has never taken a linguistics course and that his 'wookie', while being diverting, is not actually a language. Alas.
How do I know? I read it far too seriously and tried to analyze it for morphology, but there was no systematicity to it. And 'words' that were spelled the same were translated differently in different parts of the book, and there were no tonal markings, so it couldn't be that tone shifted the meaning. Granted, it wasn't written in IPA so I suppose there could have been something like amount of aspiration that could account for such drastic differences in meaning, but it's unlikely that the book was even written with any consideration towards accuracy. I mean it's a fake language anyway. Sigh. I would have loved to write something like this, if they were going to go for it, why didn't they go all the way and make it something you could actually decode and figure out?
Story: Nonexistent but humorous
Art: Meh

Pretty cute, but short so definitely intended for very young kids. I received it as a Xmas gift and I intend to pass it down to one of my nephews. This book does not in fact teach you how to speak Wookie, it actually presents a few phrases meant to be taken humorously. There is also a small sound box attached to the lower right corner of the book that contains 10 different pre-recorded Wookie sounds, so that was fun too.

Thanks to this book, my five-year-old son is becoming quite fluent in Shyriiwook, the language of the Wookiee. He is hoping that with a bit more practice, a trip to Kashyyyk just might be in our family's future. In the meantime, he's perfecting his pronunciation while working on his Jedi moves.

A slight, if amusing book, that will keep the youngest "Star Wars" fans happy...but containing just enough jokes and Wookiee growls to keep the now-cynical adult fans chuckling.

Adorable and as a bonus the dogs loved the wookie sounds!
