Star Wars: Head to Head Paperback – May 1, 2010

My boys, ages 5 and 8, can't get enough of the Head to Head series. The books match up two characters, who may or may not have ever met in the movies, describe and rate their strengths and weaknesses in battle, and then invite the reader to guess who the winner is. The author's answer is given on the back page, and often it's a surprise outcome. A little mom trick: for each matchup, one kid has to evaluate the numeric ratings (Strength, Agility, Courage... on a 1-10 scale) of the two characters and determine who is stronger, and who appears to be strongest overall. See what I did there?

Yes, Santa gave in to our son. This is not normally a book I would buy for him, but he is a Star Wars fan. This also ties in to the "Deadliest Warrior" series he and his dad watch on TV. So, it's a great book for a boy like him, who loves the "Star Wars" series, is an accomplished martial arts student, and enjoys "Deadliest Warrior." It's a nice break from academics.

A gift for my son. He loved it. Very entertaining.

I bought this for my 7 year old son for his birthday and he hasn't put it down since. I am surprised by how interested he is in things and how much all his friends love this book too. Very wise purchase.

My ten year old loved reading this book. I loved reading it to him at bed time.

My son likes anything Star Wars. He enjoyed the book.

Great book. My son enjoyed reading it over and over again. If it makes him want to read it must be good!
