    The Children’s Book Review | August 5, 2015

    Best Selling Books for Kids

    This month’s best selling kids series from The Children’s Book Review’s affiliate store is perfect for getting ready to go back to school, it’s the new popular series Star Wars Workbooks. Our list of hand-selected series from the nationwide best selling Children’s Series list, as noted by The New York Times, features mostly the same exciting updates as last month: James Dashner’s Maze Runner series and Kiera Cass’s The Selection series. Chris Colfer’s fantastical series The Land of Stories has also made it to the list.

    The Children’s Book Review’s Best Selling Kids Series Books

    Star Wars Workbook- Kindergarten Math Skills (Star Wars Workbooks) By Workman PublishingStar Wars Workbooks

    By Workman Publishing

    Publisher’s Synopsis: The Force is strong with this series! Introducing a line of workbooks that marries the iconic popularity of Star Wars with the unique mix of editorial quality, fun presentation, and rigorous educational standards that Workman applied to the BRAIN QUEST Workbooks.

    Twelve titles launch the series―three each for Pre-K through 2nd Grade―and dig deep into core subjects, including numbers, ABCs, phonics, and reading readiness for younger grades, and math, reading, and writing for the older ones. The material, which aligns with national Common Core State Standards, is designed to reinforce essential concepts and lessons taught in schools. Any child, not just fans of Star Wars―but yes, those fans will be especially delighted (as will reluctant learners)―will love the “A” is for Anakin approach to phonics. Kids will practice learning numbers by counting and circling X-wing starfighters and clone troopers. Master place values by sorting groups of Wookiees. There are math problems―Yoda is holding 7 lightsabers. 5 of the lightsabers are blue. The rest are green. How many green lightsabers is he holding? And Language Arts―Circle the correct homophone in this sentence: Luke is a Jedi knight/night.

    Featuring favorite characters like Luke Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and other creatures, monsters, Jedi, and Sith, the workbooks are filled with thousands of original illustrations drawing from all six Star Wars movies and the expanded Star Wars universe.

    Learn well, you will.
