vaderMay the 4th be with you!  (and with your son and little princess)

 Don’t just celebrate May the 4th with your little Luke: Jeffrey Brown delivers a much anticipated Vader’s Little Princess so your little Leia can participate in May the 4th too! Just like Darth Vader and Son, Brown plays on scenes and language from the movies to create a story of what Vader may have had to encounter while parenting Leia. The difference with this iteration is that Vader also has to deal with teenage Leia and learning to drive, her relationship with Han Solo, and her fashion choices. It’s an adorable, quick read and the latest must-have for Star Wars fans!

Let’s just get the truth about this book out of the way now: if you’re a Star Wars fan, you MUST have it for your collection. Absolutely must! Each page is full of fun activities to remind you of your favorite parts of all three Star Wars prequel movies. Pull-tabs, two working lightsabers, and huge, detailed pop-ups make the book visual awesome

The trivia is great for all fans and even for the true Star Wars buffs there are little known facts that are fun to read and share. And did I mention working lightsabers? How much fun is that?! . The paper engineering of the pages is just amazing.

Definitely a necessary addition to any Star Wars collection or for those pop-up collectors out there.

Have fun playing with this one!

Star Wars fans will delight in this depiction of Darth Vader’s fatherly duties to 4 year-old Luke Skywalker.  Darth Vader and Luke are showcased as a typical father-son pair, taking on day-to-day activities like breakfast, school, and bedtime, as well as the use of the Force and questions about Yoda.  Full of detailed illustrations that mimic scenes from the movies and a few plays on Darth Vader quotes, this book is guaranteed to generate new fans and leave seasoned fans chuckling.

We laughed our heads off here at Hooray for Books as we flipped through this one! Check out the hilarious illustration above–it’s a perfect example of the humor you can expect from this awesome little book!

Also, it’s the perfect idea for a goofy Father’s Day gift. Get your shopping done early!
