This is basically a Goodnight book in the world of Star Wars, Jeffrey Brown's style. I like it as a Goodnight book, but there are better in this market. It also works as a Star Wars book that you can peruse for a chuckle. This is a could-have if your kid already love Star Wars characters, you are a fervent Star Wars collector or you like Jeffrey Brown art.Goodnight Darth Vader is a departure of previous instances such as Darth Vader and Son or Jedi Academy. Indeed, this is a book intended to be read to your kid or with your kid to put him in the mood for sleep. Therefore, there is no Star Wars action on it.SPOILERS :)The book starts with Darth Vader trying to get Leia and Luke to sleep and ends with Darth Vader, Luke and Leia falling asleep and the mandatory goodnight to each of them. What is in between is a collection of various scenes (I counted 26) where characters from the Star Wars universe are going to sleep presented within two pages and a rhyme on each. Sometimes the rhyme doesn't work, but the art remains interesting. It's worth mentioning that this book include character from the the prequels, clone wars and the original trilogy, which is very cool.So overall, your milage may vary. I like this book for what it is. However, for a quick chuckle, I prefer Darth Vader and Son or Vader's Little Princess.
I got two of Jeffrey Brown's Starwars books, "Vader and Son" and Vader's little Princess, and love this continuation. If I ever had children and want to get them started off of right with Star Wars, this book would be great to read to them and get them familiar with the Star Wars Universe. I love the illustrations in the book and just how many characters are mentioned in it whither they are minor parts in the movie like Sebulba, the pod racer in episode one or someone major like Han Solo. All of the characters are trying to get to bed in the book and it's hilarious to see how each one tries to do that.
It's a cute premise, to work as a bedtime book for kids you really want the meter and rhymes to be right. Mr. Brown does very cute illustrations, but he's no poet. There's no meter established for the stanzas on each page, and many of the rhymes don't work. Rhyming "wookies" with "trees" is awkward at best, for example.
Not quite what I expected from Mr. Brown after the original Darth Vader and son. This book is missing the clever quips and glimpses into life with a little one as interpreted by Darth Vader. Not funny and cute...it's ok if you are a die-hard Star Wars fan but don't expect anything like the original.
We now own all the books in this Star Wars series by Jeffrey Brown. This one may be my favorite of them all. It introduces a bunch of characters not in the previous books. The idea of young Luke and Leia romping about and frustrating their loving dad, Darth Vadar, is a fun alternate timeline to the Star Wars saga...I mean, what if Darth was in charge of taking care of his young ones? So very cute and my 4 year old daughter LOVES these books!!!
Considering the title, I was expecting a parody of Goodnight Moon, but that's not what this is.It is a bedtime poem, but the poetry isn't very good, nor is the book clever enough to make it stand out in any way.The artwork is great, though, and little kids will probably love it. The poetry's lost on them, anyway, right?
This little book is great, perfect for a family of Star Wars fans. The character references are so fun and hilarious! I enjoy it just as much as my little ones do. We love the illustrations and it's a great length for a quick bedtime read.
An excellent bedtime book!!Each page has a sentence, rhyming in concert with the following page:"When Jar-Jar puts on his pj's for bedHe always ends up with a bonk on his head."A whole host of characters from Star Wars go to sleep in the book in a variety of ways, which introduces kids to who these characters are in the universe. It's friendly enough for small children, so no worries on whether or not its appropriate for certain ages.Definitely a perfect book to add to your children's library.
