Book Description

August 31, 2011 Star Wars
Everyone's been there you re playing holo chess with a Wookiee, and things get out of hand. You've done something to offend him, but you don't know what. How can you defuse the situation? Better yet, how can you make sure you never end up there again?

With intergalactic travel easier than ever, Wookiees can now be found on nearly every planet in the galaxy and on starships everywhere in between. This helpful guide teaches citizens of the galaxy key phrases in the Wookiee language, eliminating near-fatal encounters with notoriously short-tempered Wookiees while smoothing the way to lasting partnerships and friendships. The handy sound module recorded by Chewbacca himself! demonstrates proper pronunciation of ten key phrases.

About the Author

Wu Kee Smith is an expert of the Wookie language and culture. He is the author of the Galactic News best-selling book The Wookiee in the Tree. He splits his time between San Francisco, California, and Kashyyyk.

JAKe was born in Hull, England, but was raised by Wookiees from a young age. He speaks the Wookiee language fluently, but with a strong northern accent. He now lives and works in London, and would never use a cheap Jedi mind-trick to make you visit jake-art.com

5.0 out of 5 stars AAAARRR WGH GGWAAAH November 7, 2011
Format:Hardcover
This book may very well be the least offensive talking book ever created. The sounds are hilarious, the illustrations are delightful, and everyone of every age can definitely enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book July 3, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this for my husband as a surprise for Christmas and turns out that he got it for me too! Haha, It's really cute and creative but I wish there was more to it. It doesn't really "teach" you anything but it's fun to try to imitate. I must say, I'm quite fluent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for our needs January 20, 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for our 2 year old son and he loves it! His father and I love it as well!
It is more of a childs book but personally I love the artwork and think it is great quality. I would not listen to the previous poster about it being generic crappy star wars merchandise. I think it is great for a child and for adults who don't have expectations for the writing/story to be amazing or anything. The art is a matter of opinion. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like to laugh.... January 8, 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very witty, a blast at parties, although it did confuse my dog! Highly recommended for all non-Wookiees for precise pronunciation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool if your a fan December 26, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Our newest canine acquisition speaks wookie so this was a cool gift for my husband. When the dog "talks" it sounds like wookie. Everybody visiting this for christmas thought it was pretty neat too. We played it for the dog and she acted like she knew what it was saying.
