Children’s Star Wars Books
The holidays were very good to my kids. But while we saw everyone posting pictures of their families heading off to see the latest Star Wars movie, we were at home.
My kids just aren’t ready for the intensity of the movie in the theaters.
But they love reading about all of the Star Wars characters.
This year, I gave my son the Star Wars: Jedi Academy series and he absolutely devoured them.
Seriously… I kept waiting to catch him reading them by flashlight under the covers.
But he hasn’t gotten that sophisticated in his deceptions yet. Ha!
