About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is resisting traditional reading practice but is obsessed with games or movies. It is the perfect bridge for a reluctant reader who needs the high stakes of a space adventure but the comfort of a familiar, funny world to feel successful. By using the popular Angry Birds Star Wars characters, the book lowers the barrier to entry for early literacy. The story introduces Lard Vader and his Empire pigs as they attempt to rule the galaxy. It explores simple themes of good versus evil and the power of imagination through parody. Because it is designed for level one readers, the sentences are short and repetitive, allowing children aged 5 to 7 to build pride and accomplishment as they navigate the pages independently. It is a low pressure, high fun choice for building reading stamina.
