My name is Qui-Gon Jinn. I am a Jedi. The Jedi are guardians of peace in the universe. We draw our strength from a mysterious power called the Force. I would be honored to tell you more in this storybook all about the Jedi Knights.

My son enjoyed this book. It was an easy read for a 7 year old, with nice pictures and interesting facts. Probably perfect for a 5 or 6 year old.

Wonderful, intelligent book for the very young andall others
This is just a terrific storybook. After a year, it is still one of my 3 year old niece's favorites.The graphic design is sophisticated and elegant, and the book introduces young children to the Star Wars universe with great style. It's intelligent, a quality missing in so many children's movie tie-in books. The presentation of the Jedi is age-appropriate but will also appeal to much older readers. Three cheers for Random House and Lucas Books!

Cute as a bug!
Got a grown-up Qui-Gon fan with a sense of humor who needs a stocking stuffer? This'll do nicely. It's got pretty pictures and stickers. And as every thinking being knows, stickers make *everything* better! ^_^

Excellent for young children
As a special education teacher working to stimulate children with reading differences/difficulties, I am always looking for highly motivating, well-illustrated, well-written books. This book is all three, plus it has the advantage of appealing, in its subject material, not just to the younger readers (grades 1-4), but to those in grades 5-12 (yes, 12!) as well. I was able to do many interesting activities for boys and girls with learning differences, using materials based on Episodes 4, 5, and 6. So far, the story/activity books from Episode I, including this one and the three others in the four-book series, are just as carefully done, with the same potential for entrancing and motivating the low-level reader. (And I, a high-level reader, also think they are simply super for reading to great-grandchildren or to myself.) The Star Wars materials, this story in particular, offer many opportunities to develop high-level critical thinking skills, which these students usually have in abundance, and to stimulate writing and vocabulary skills. Even a short book like this one offers the opportunity to discuss acceptable behaviors, to improve choice-making, and to define personal goals. Thank you, George Lucas, Marc Cerasini and Random House, for making solid-gold books like this available!
