About Art2-D2's Guide To Folding And Doodling
Product Description The activity book companion to the New York Times bestselling Origami Yoda series! Stick figures to the dark side only lead! To doodle like a Jedi you must learn! Young Padawan, are you ready to become a Jedi doodler? A galactic knight of origami? Kellen and the kids from McQuarrie Middle School—with some help from Art2-D2—present this guide to mastering over seventy-five activities inspired by the bestselling Origami Yoda series, including doodling, folding, and more. From School Library Journal Gr 3-6-Fans (and nonfans, if there are any) of the "Origami Yoda" series (Abrams) and website will find new opportunities aplenty for foolery in this spinoff compendium of progressively challenging hands-on instructions for drawing, folding, and goofing around with (mostly) Star Wars characters. First, Angleberger builds on simply drawn instructions and blank practice space ("Scribble in this box you must!") for "Jedi Super-Doodlers" with step diagrams for folding finger puppet "doodle-gami"-beginning with a generic figure requiring just three folds but highlighted by a challenging Darth Paper with Annakin's face beneath a hidden pleat. Following projects range from full-size costumes made from bulletin board paper to a rocket constructed from an emptied tube of lip balm; prints created with toys and inked silly putty molds; and even advice for taking good photos of finished work. Readers will take to heart Yoda's "Doodle or doodle not! There is no try!" though the empty fill-in panels, plus several detachable sheets of colored paper for folding, will be problematic for library use.-John Peters, Children's Literature Consultant, New York Cityα(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. From Booklist An offshoot of the popular Origami Yoda series, this inviting activity book offers instructions for ideas such as creating origami Star Wars characters, drawing doodles and pictures, and making games. In a light fictional framework, middle-grade student Tommy tells how he came to assemble the book, which is made up of his school friends’ hands-on ideas and set forth in traditional text as well as cartoon panels with speech balloons. The art and craft pages sometimes include boxes showing the step-by-step stages of the kids’ drawings and projects. One page shows how to make origami Halloween costumes using huge sheets of bulletin board paper, while another explains “How to Talk like Yoda.” The book, which includes some pullout pages of origami paper, occasionally leaves blank spaces where readers are invited to draw. Still, given the presentation’s offbeat attitude, ingenuity, and wit, many libraries will want to stock this high-interest book and hope for the best. Grades 3-6. --Carolyn Phelan Review "Once again, Angleberger’s humor, which presents itself in the text through characters from the series, in both human and origami form, connects with middle-grade readers. 'Art2' and the other 'Origami Yoda' books are the ultimate example of the by-a-fan/for-the-fans format, which succeeds if executed properly. This did he.” ― Florida Times-Union "Excellent activity-book offshoot of Angleberger’s bestselling Origami Yoda series… The banter and tongue-and-cheek humor of the previous books is present, along with encouragement." ― Publishers Weekly "Fans (and nonfans, if there are any) of the “Origami Yoda” series and website will find new opportunities aplenty for foolery in this spinoff compendium of progressively challenging hands-on instructions for drawing, folding, and goofing around with (mostly) Star Wars characters." ― School Library Journal About the Author Tom Angleberger is the bestselling author of the Origami Yoda series, including The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, Darth Paper Strikes Back, and The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee.
