This is the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, showcasing his proven knack for authentically capturing the intrigues, fads, and dramas of middle school in “a satisfying tale of friendship and just resistance to authority” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).



Praise for Art2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling
"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

"The presentation’s offbeat attitude, ingenuity, and wit, many libraries will want to stock this high interest book..."
Booklist

"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."

I would try the lip balm rocket if I knew it wouldn't shoot somebody's eye out. This book teaches more origami than any other origami yoda series book.

I haven't finished it yet,but my brother has and he says it's really good.I can't wait to read it!

Hey guys!!! I've been into this really good game called guild wars 2. tom if you could sponsor it in you're next case file that would be stooky!!!!!!

Sounds like something Lance and James Suervo might play!

If Arceus created the worlds, and Mew created Pokémon, then who came 1st?

Arceus, because without worlds, where would the pokemon be?

Probably the worlds. Otherwise, the Pokémon would just float around in space.

Snorelax was first. All of Pokemon is just a dream he dreams while sleeping. When he awakes... all the rules will change.

Construction paper is hard to work with. It rips so easily and whenever you fold back a corner it just pops back up again. And tape hardly even helps.... ಠ_ಠ

Tape and construction paper are like Chopper and Zeb... they just don't get along!

Lol that's so true :)

That's why I deliberately bought thin 60 g/m² paper for folding. But if you need to use thicker paper, try to make the models larger. ;)
