Product DescriptionStar Pilot features a lively, fact-packed narrative about the spaceships and vehicles of Star Wars.
Loved it! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Bought for a 7 year old boy. LOVED it--definitely a level 3 of the DK book series--many more words than the level 2. But wonderfully done--as all of their books are.
Great for Early Readers (Rating: 5 out of 5) This book has all the primary Star Wars spacecraft listed in the book. Our grade school child loves reading this book. This book is true to the DK Readers style, with reading level well identified, and full color photos to keep them excited about reading. On more than once have found our son "secretly" reading this book to himself after lights out!! Makes reading fun when they have fun topic to read about.
Flying Through the Galaxy. (Rating: 5 out of 5) STAR PILOTS is actually an inaccurate title for this young readers Star Wars book. The book really doesn't have much to say about pilots, but is all about space craft flown in the Star Wars universe. While there are a few non-space vehicles described, e.g. podracers, most of the book is dedicated to famous Star Wars vehicles. X-Wings, TIE Fighters, the Millenium Falcon, the Executor, Slave 1, and the Invisible Hand are all mentioned as well as escape pods and Republican gunships. The book is filled with pictures from the movies, which makes it attractive for young readers. Though this is a level 3 book, many of the words seem more difficult than that too me. However, the books chronological order makes it easier to make sense of it all. Overall, this is a great book for young Star Wars fans.
a tour of the great flying vehicles (Rating: 5 out of 5) "Star Pilot" is a tour of Star Wars' great flying vehicles. The title isn't entirely accurate since the focus isn't actually on pilots, but rather the machines. Beyond this, the scope is broader than space ships alone as the book includes pod racers and republic gunships. The scope includes the entire saga, starting with the droid control ship seen in the first minute of the "Phantom Menace" and ending with the Super Star Destroyer, seen in Episode six's final battle. The chronological order makes the book comfortable to follow. While the text is large, the vocabulary is much higher than the self-described level 3. The illustrations are large, high-quality and extracted from the films. While not comprehensive by any means, "Star Pilot" is an enjoyable tour of the most important vehicles of the Star Wars saga.
