Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As the title indicates, "R2-D2 and Friends" is about everybody's favorite astromech droid. The book examines R2-D2's designed purpose, his abilities and important missions. No discussion of R2 would be complete without mentioning his other half, C-3PO. Some of the droid duo's famous adventures are recalled, like their time together with Jabba the Hutt. Afterwards, other robots are explored like the GNK droids, medical robots and combat droids. Written in the first person, "R2-D2 and Friends" has a warm, conversational tone. This book is good for most third grade readers. At thirty-two pages, the read is short and there is little text on each page. That written, the vocabulary tends to be high so it's either best as a read-aloud to younger children or independently enjoyed by stronger readers. The illustrations are attractive as they were all lifted from the films or pulled from the Lucas archives. The scope covers the entire saga. In addition to providing comic relief, R2-D2 saved the day more than once. "R2-D2 and Friends" is a fun look at one of the all-time most cherished robots.
