Comic Book: Watch out for Jabba the Hutt by Simon Beecroft
A quick and dirty post today, which is more of a picture book than a comic. I have been getting a kick from reading all these younger reader-format books to my kids, and there will be a lot more. It is fun to revisit these characters in this format and see them inspire my kids in the things I enjoy.
Title: Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Watch Out for Jabba the Hutt!
Author: Simon Beecroft
Blurb: Jabba the Hutt is back and badder than ever, in this tie-in reader to the full-length CGI-animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, opening in theaters on August 15. The movie launches a new animated series beginning in the fall on Cartoon Network. Full color.
Format: 32 pages, Paperback
Review
As mentioned, this was mainly selected to read to my kids (I feel it was 70% for me, but 30% counts, right?). And I understand it is technically not a comic, but with so many images, it feels like it falls under that selection more than a book review. It was a great bedtime read-together book, acting like a whos who of the Clone Wars, delivering kid-friendly information that wasn't dull like an adult Encyclopedia. It lists all the major characters in the Clone Wars cartoon, luring the children into watching the series. There was lots of Star Wars info, so maybe not for every child, but we had a lot of fun looking at the pictures, reading the blurbs and discussing who we liked the most.
A fun 30-minute read that we all enjoyed.
