Synopsis: In "My Pet AT-AT," a ten-year-old dreams of playing hide and seek and fetch with an AT-AT. In "Dad's Luke Skywalker Figurine," a child opens their dad's untouched action figure but, instead of getting into trouble, helps their dad re-discover his own sense of play. In "T-16 Dreams," a little girl imagines herself flying through the galaxy, the Empire hot on her trail, to help with her real-world fear of flying.

Set in the hearts and minds of young children who love Star Wars, and filled with the characters you know and love, I Wish I Had a Wookiee is the perfect gift for the young Star Wars fan--and the young at heart.

Review: I absolutely loved this book so much! It was a fun Star Wars themed read and so inclusive as well! The book had so many fun poems about the Force and the characters we see throughout the series (not just the movies, but more as well) and if you’re a geeky family then this would be a fun addition to your bedtime routine reads!

Verdict: Highly recommend!
