Stormtroopers Occupy Bryant Park Reading Room

By Jason Boog 

chewie.jpgChildren’s Book Week began on Saturday, launched by a motley crew of reading advocates that included stormtroopers, bounty hunters, and Chewbacca.

DK Publishing teamed up with the Star Wars aficionados of the 501st Legion at the Bryant Park Reading Room. The event was hosted by the Children’s Book Council, and Imperial officer John Garzillo read from DK’s “The Story of Darth Vader” to a crowd of kids.

One GalleyCat reader sent that photo of DK senior publicist Mindy Fichter and Chewbacca. After the jump are photos of Ambassador for Young People’s Literature John Scieszka and many more stormtroopers.
