This book is moderately entertaining by effectively providing a series of hand-drawn snapshots from the film. However, it centers around Jar Jar's blatant attempt to steal something from a shopkeeper! This is written off as 'he was hungry', but never addressed. In the end Anakin scolds Jar Jar and tells him to 'Be less afraid' after various run-ins with people Jar Jar annoyed. I'm not trying to be overly humorless and critical, but I also try to keep my children away from books that gloss over 'petty' crimes. His theft is supposed to be cute and funny, but loses its fractional humor by devolving into insults and physical abuse.

Jar Jar is so funny because he slurps up a frog and he splashes it into Sebulba's soup. That made my great-grandmother crack up! She read the whole book with me and she said funny things about the book. I think she was so excited that I could read it by myself, and thought that the book was extremely funny.

Jar Jar is the best, I love this book. I am eight andhalf years old. Please other kids should read this book.

My sister loves this book! "Your friend was almost turned into orange goo!" -Ani

Even though I am almost 11, I loved this because I thought Jar-Jar was funny, and very clumsy. I want to say hi to my mommy, because she might read this. ***Meghan***

Review: Are you kidding? Would give it 0 stars if it were possible. This character is a waste of time - nothing but one long, very expensive FX test shot.
