darchildreSo, we have a lot of Star Wars books aimed at beginning readers, because 75% of all small children* love Star Wars.
Which is cool! But it leads to situations like the one going on not ten feet from me right now, where well-meaning grandparents who have no knowledge of Star Wars read the books aloud to their grandchildren and have no idea how to pronounce things.
It is taking all of my restraint not to interrupt and tell her how to pronounce Tatooine.
*Or, at least, 75% of the small children I encounter in the library. Are children in other places obsessed with Star Wars?
