Pretty silly, I think almost as much for older readers as for children.

Too adorable for words! I am obsessed with porgs and I'm so glad that I finally got my hands on a digital copy of this book. Now I need a physical copy of this book at add to my porg collection.
Cute story. Adorably illustrated.

I read this to my girls tonight and it's adorable. The pictures in this book were incredible and the story was great. It is a great side story during the events of The Last Jedi that kids will love.

This was a beautiful, sweet little book that's sure to get kids to fall in love with Chewbacca and Porgs. I didn't grow up during the time of the original trilogy, I actually came of age during the Prequel films, but I did grow up watching the VHS tapes of the original trilogy my parents owned. Chewie was always the character I got stuck playing because I was so tall, but I didn't mind because Chewie was awesome. And so seeing Star Wars become popular again, and seeing a new generation of kids coming to this creative universe is both beautiful and inspiring.

And this book is just one dozens of wonderful books I know this next generation will have. There were never really picture books for Star Wars, let alone about Chewie. Gotta say, I'm pretty envious.

I read this for the "Title Beginning With C" part of my 2020 reading challenge. This was adorable and funny and well illustrated, and packed full of Porgs.

I really enjoyed the inventive retelling of "The Last Jedi" from the perspective of Chewie and the Porgs. Especially enjoyed the glossing over of the fact that Chewie Killed a couple then was going to EAT them!
