World of Reading

World of Reading is an umbrella label for a type of picture books aimed at young readers, set at various levels for those at different stages of reading. The stages range from Pre-1 to Level 3. An imprint of the Disney Book Group, a number of these titles have been published by Disney-Lucasfilm Press since the acquisition of the Star Wars franchise by The Walt Disney Company in 2014. Currently, Disney has published or is slated to publish six titles each under this umbrella for both Star Wars Rebels and the films in the original trilogy, with five for the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. All are set at either Level 1 or Level 2. Though the titles have featured different authors and illustrators, with some illustrated by groups of individuals working for a corporation, all feature relatively simple language and somewhat cartoonish illustrations.
