		<description><![CDATA[I agree that the last example makes this book inappropriate. There is a difference between Mr. Brown&#039;s thunder boom and the boom of a space station full of people exploding to death.

That said, from what was shown of the rest of the book, I can see how it might be a good tool for interesting a Star Wars fan dad in spending time reading to a baby or toddler. The child is still being exposed to vocabulary words (even if &quot;spaceship&quot; may be less useful day to day than &quot;cup&quot;) and the parent and child are spending good bonding time together and, one would hope, establishing a habit of reading that could extend to other, more meat and potatoes books. Too bad about the last page.]]></description>
