Geof Smith’s Star Wars: A New Hope adapts George Lucas’s 1977 film for the Little Golden Book series intended for readers between the ages of 2 and 5. The artists, Caleb Muerer and Micky Rose, has provided the art for all of the Little Golden Books Star Wars adaptations, from the Original Trilogy, through the Prequels, and now the Sequel Trilogy, offering a stylistic continuity to these books. The story faithfully adapts the main beats of the original Star Wars with art and descriptions that any parent can easily read and show their child. Some words, like “disguise,” will also help parents to develop their children’s reading and language comprehension. This book is a great way for nerdy parents to introduce their younglings to the mysteries of the Force. ( )
