'F' yes.

Adorable ABC book for the geek in training. Each letter is decorated to match up with the character it is representing. A must for Star Wars parents looking to indoctrinate, I mean, educate their little jedis.

Hello, friends! Today’s book is Star Wars ABC by Scholastic Inc., an oversized board book that takes an alphabetic look at the characters and things of a galaxy far, far away (and yes, I know this is the third Star Wars book this month, but we’ve been on a bit of a Star Wars kick here at the Baby Bookworm household).
Starting with A is for Anakin, each page has a character (Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo), or thing (Millennium Falcon, the Force, Jedi) that corresponds to its letter of the alphabet. Accompanied by a photo of the subject and a one-sentence description, each page brings the Star Wars universe to life for little fans, helping them learn their alphabet along the way.
So, of the three Star Wars books we read this month, I have to say that this one was the most “meh.” There were plenty of well-recognizable characters, but there were also some pretty definite fillers that would likely leave even die-hard fans scratching their heads (IG-88? Kaminoans? Zam Wesell?). Also, many of the photos chosen were oddly grainy or out of focus, leading to an overall inconsistency in the visuals page to page. It was definitely a fun novelty read, and little Star Wars fans would likely get a kick out of it, but it definitely lacked a substance and polish that we’ve seen with other fandom children’s books. Overall, a bit disappointing but still enough fun for what it’s trying to be, so we’ll call this one Baby Bookworm approved.

ABCs via Star Wars characters? Yes please. Each letter is designed to represent the character, like the W for Wookiee is all hairy. Each getting a one sentence description. Some are characters, some are spaceships. But General Grievous is described has having glowing lightsabers? That’s all you have to say about him? Booooo
-
Cute! Some letters are a bit of a stretch but that’s normal for ABC books
-
Great learning fun for kids, the book gives kids the star wars characters they love, but also teaches them.
-
fun ABC book of facts for the young reader
-
yeah im counting even though this isnt the exact star wars abc book i read its a literary masterpiece

From Anakin and Boba Fett to Yoda and Zam, this large format board book is an awesome alphabet book for children and their parents. Each page has a large letter, the name or title of the person, creature or robot, and ships, and also a sentence about them. Each letter is a different style, and the pages are color designed. The letters are fun and the book is a blast to read with children. This book is pleasing to look at and could almost be a coffee table book for adults who are fans of the series. Children will love exploring the pictures and all the different things as they learn the alphabet. Great fun for the whole family, little droids and all.

It only gets 3 stars because it has some stuff from the "first three" movies, which I can't stand. Luke, Han, Leia, and no CG Yoda. Darth Vader and the Emperor - really? do you need more sith lords? I didn't think so. That's what all the published fiction is for.
Anyway, it has R2-D2, so Seth is happy. And he wants to know the names of the individual stormtroopers. Maybe I'll have him write to George Lucas about that. ;D
Otherwise, it's fine - I have no other complaints. Geek parents and their geeklings will love it. :D -
Since we are working on the alphabet, I was interested in getting this for Natalie. I read it at Target, and I'm glad I didn't buy it on line before reading it. It is a good book, but not for Natalie. Some of the letters were a stretch, and some of the aliens included were a bit scarey. This really shouldn't be a board book. Anyone old enough to understand the pictures should be able to care for a paper book.

This is for the science fiction lover in everyone! I love the pictures and especially the words they use to represent the letters. Why not expand your child's beginning vocabulary? C3PO is a wonderful first "C" word!

My husband is a Star Wars junkie, so this book was a natural choice for him to share with our daughter. Even he didn't know some of the characters/military vehicles used in the book! Beautiful color photographs and think binding--perfect for a young Jedi! -
Daddy is very happy that this ABC book is helping Alice to identify the common and obscure characters from Star Wars :) She mostly just wants to flip through the pages while singing the alphabet song right now.
-
I like this book because it shows you some of the Star Wars things and people. It shows you them in ABC order. It shows you Jedi's, Bounty Hunters, Sith lords, Droids, Ships, Princess's/Queen's, and even more!
-
Ralph loves it. He will sit in the floor and flip through the pages talking about what he sees.
-
Yes, the force is with this book for the youngest Star Wars fans. It is a nice trip to meet many of the characters.
-
The perfect book for Star Wars fans, especially young Jedis (like my son, lol).
-
What's not to love here? My colleague gave me this book as part of my birthday present!
-
Cute ABC book that will help me in my quest to turn my niece into a Star Wars nerd. My favorite part of this book is "B is for Boba Fett.". Awesome.
-
Cole enjoys looking at the pages and sometimes let us read it to the end.
-
We found this winner at Target. I had fun quizzing Matt to see if he could guess what each letter stood for. It'll have to be our future children's first ABC book for sure!
-
With an ABC book, you want the kid to be able to associate the letter and word, as well as have fun, of course.
A month later, the kid is still reciting the ABCs of the Star Wars Universe. -
Maybe I need to try this one with an older baby, but my ten month old never wanted to even look at this one.
-
This book was absolutely perfect for our Star Wars loving family!
-
This is a different approach to learning the alphabet. Ewoks fight for the right side and there are off the beaten path options like Urgnaught and Zam.
-
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, as are my kids, and my 6 year old is in love with this book!
What a great way to teach the alphabet! -
The best way to teach your kid the ABC's. Parenting win.
