Vader's Little Princess
By: Jeffrey Brown
Synopsis
In this irresistibly funny follow-up to the breakout bestseller Darth Vader and Son, Vader--Sith Lord and leader of the Galactic Empire--now faces the trials, joys, and mood swings of raising his daughter Leia as she grows from a sweet little girl into a rebellious teenager.
Smart and funny illustrations by artist Jeffrey Brown give classic Star Wars moments a twist by bringing these iconic family relations together under one roof. From tea parties to teaching Leia how to fly a TIE fighter, regulating the time she spends talking with friends via R2-D2's hologram, and making sure Leia doesn't leave the house wearing only a skirted metal bikini, Vader's parenting skills are put hilariously to the test.
My Thoughts
First I have a few disclaimers -
1. I saw this book at Target and thought it looked cute
2. I have never seen Star Wars
3. Really, the only thing with Star Wars I have seen are Family Guy episodes
For what this is, this book is extremely cute. Funny, with inside jokes and tongue in cheek comics, fans of Star Wars are bound to love this short but cute collection. Now for those who are kind of in a similar boat, there is enough humor and knowledge of the Star Wars Universe isn’t really necessary. One of my favorite scenes is when Leia is holding on for dear life on Darth Vader’s leg. Keep in mind though, the book is extremely short with less than 70 pages of content. Super cute, funny, and above all clever, Vader’s Little Princess is perfect for fans of the Star Wars franchise or for people who just enjoy a really cute and funny read.

I love these books and have recommended them to Star Wars fans with kids. It would make a cute Father's Day gift.
ReplyDeleteI like Darth Vader and Son a little more than this one but both are worth perusing. I am glad you were able to enjoy it even without seeing the movies.
