My 5 year old would not let me leave the library without this book even though it's well above his reading level. I explained this to him numerous times.

Not that I wanted to squash his little reading dreams, it's just that I knew I'd spend the next week reading this book over and over again.

Ugh. Mom was not so thrilled about explaining the difference between the Republic and the Separatists(I'm sure I'm committing some kind of Star Wars taboo by not capitalizing "The"), what a rebel lord is, and why Anikan doesn't have a light saber with dual ends (I don't know for cripes sake!). This was well above my reading level.

Which makes me wonder why I didn't just make reading this particular book dad-duty?

Regardless, he freakin' loves this book. Never mind that I get tongue tied with half the names and terms (Twi'leks with their lekku and Wat Tambor from Skako, and, well, you get the picture), nope he eagerly lapped up page after page and paragraph after paragraph. He especially enjoyed the pictures and the smaller descriptions of people, creatures and droids.

Bryce (age 6) picked this one out at the public library. He and Sean both listened to the entire book and were very interested. And it is quite complicated; provides much information for Star Wars aficionados of all ages, or for those willing to learn more. Plus since it is a DK book there are lots of great pictures.

I learned that Jabba the Hutt has an uncle named Ziro the Hutt, and that Jabba has a son named Rotta. All of the Hutts are mean and quite ugly.
