Books Boys Love: STAR WARS - Easy Readers for little guys

Guys of all ages love Star Wars so we knew we needed to put together a resource list of books with little guys (and girls!) in mind. Here is a list of the easiest practice readers we could locate -- AR Levels 1.2 to 2.5

We've included backcover descriptions and pointers to our reviews where we've done them.

For slightly more difficult Practice Readers -AR 2.5 to 3.0 - see our list here.

Blast Off
by Rob Colson

BLAST OFF is the easiest Star Wars book to date. The text is large and the sentences are short and simple. There's no real story, but rather favorite characters are introduced. Here's an example:

Meet C-3PO.
He is a droid.
He can speak many languages.

Children should really like the pictures.
