|title=Star Wars Bounty Hunt: Lift the Flap
|rating=3
|genre=Emerging Readers
|summary=If you need to give credit to the Star Wars universe for anything, beyond sheer entertainment, it may be the way it makes such great store of putting evil characters to the fore. They're often the more memorable for being in tune with the dark side of the Force, and even if we're not meaning full-on Darth Vader or the like we're talking about Hutts, bounty hunters and sheer nasty people as the focus of the stories. All in all the good guys will win the day, but the baddies have a heck of a lot more attention given them than in some franchises. And such is the case here, where we have a small episode in the life of devious and dogged bounty hunter Bossk, who was in films 5 and 6 and the Clone Wars animation, but isn't generally well-known on the street. Or in the nursery school, for this is seriously geared at the younger end of the SW audience.

|summary=For my sins I have never met Bertie before now – something that from the merits of this book I now think should have been corrected a long time ago. He's a friendly young chap, and we meet him in friendly, short episodes. Here are three of them, which I have to assume is the norm. One shows him quite gullible if well-meaning, the next has him stuck in a situation he dislikes where he still gets the upper hand, and the third is a sustained look at what happens when he starts a hole for himself with a simple, poor decision. He's a lad such as you probably have close by you, he's amiable, he's not too smart, and he's really quite likeable – even if he does apparently have a very snotty nose…

|rating= 3.5
|genre= Emerging Readers
|summary=This title is part of a new series which develops Tony Ross's unforgettable Little Princess for older children reading on their own.
