A highly entertaining, funny, witty, and clever book to read. As an adult who doesn’t mind reading the style of simplicity of the Kid’s Chapter Books, I really enjoyed this book regardless of its simple nature, and rather appreciated it on behalf of its intended audience (Children themselves)! I loved the book’s funny and joking parts, it’s separation into four distinct portions involving four distinct main characters, and yet how each story had a clear start-to-finish motive, mission and plotline. Each story was entertaining, as well as a decent length (actually the perfect length for it’s respective age group not to lose its attention span or interest, and perfect to stop after each story to still feel accomplished for completing a story until you can finish the whole book). The book gave beautiful tiny mini amounts of insight into each character shown (and their respective backgrounds) and specialized on that only made you want to see and learn more about their potential futures, adventures and backgrounds (such as perhaps from a TV Show? *wink wink*). My favorite story was told from the POV of the Droid C1-10P, or “Chopper”, because we so rarely get stories from the perspectives of Droids, especially an Astromech as lively, colorful and animated in his language and wording as Chop. The colorful illustrations and character depictions in the book were absolutely beautiful. It truly makes me wonder who drew those illustrations, as they aren’t credited in the creation of the book as far as I can see. I really enjoy how there was a theme to them, with one type being included per each character&story. For a short, innocent and mildly interesting book, with eagerly told storylines, it had great impact on me as a reader and I can imagine any young child enjoying reading this book in its simplicity, entertaining stories and short length. I suggest this book to anyone who would love to have a quick read or a good laugh, or even for the target audience of Children themselves. Whether a fan of Star Wars, the Star Wars: Rebels TV Show, or just reading in general, many, if not all people I can estimate, will enjoy this book!!
