I am baffled there are this many positive reviews for this product. Either you are allowing your passion for Star Wars blind you or you have placed your book in a special quiet place and look at it from afar. I am only comforted by the fact my mother bought this book for my son, or I would be demanding my money back.
My mother saw this online will searching for another Star Wars product and my son and I were both excited when it came. Although he is only four, he loves Star Wars and we use it as a way to learn about other things. This book fell apart the first time we used it. The middle designs in particular are hard to compact, making the book impossible to put away or even get to other pages. The lightsabers go on and off when they want to...or maybe when you use the force.
Listen, I'm an educated man with a calm mind and a passion for Lucas products. I have actually thrown this book away because I was so tired of trying to make something poorly designed cherished just because it is a Star Wars Product. I find it hard to believe of the hundreds of reviews there are no other complaints.
Save your money and buy other products with the same information.
ASTOUNDING Any child with even a passing interest in Star Wars will love this incredible book.
PERFECT IN EVERY WAY! This is the PERFECT book for Star wars fans. I can't say a single bad thing about it. I cannot find a single flaw. In addition to giving you information about the movies, there are stunning, unbelievably gourgeous pop-ups coviring each page. Also, bgecause pop-up books are normally geared toward children, I want to say that this is for everyone. It is not only for children. It will provide hours of enjoyment and I recommend it to anyone who wants a stunning new addition to their Star Wars collection or who wants to learn more about Star Wars.
best pop- up book ever !!!!!!!! got this book for my sons 8th birthday, he loves this book and was delighted by all the different sections. family and friends also loved it. It's very well made and has several intricate sections on each page. The working light savers in the book are great. I would recommend this book to any one makes a grate gift.
Noah, age 6 - never so excited! The little guy LOVED this pop-up book. The perfect Grandma gift. If your kid is a Wii fan of Star Wars, this is terrific! Dad reads it to him and they share the book. Can't tell who likes it better.
