One of the best picture books I've ever read. Hands down.

I love the art style in this.
Sort of out of this world story to try to find a paranormal thing that might scare vader. This book is kinda odd, but in a welcome weird way.

I didn’t really enjoy this book. As soon as I finished reading it I thought “really? That was so stupid.” The entire book really, truly has no point. It leads up to a climax that has a big, soggy, blah ending. I don’t really like to leave bad book reviews, but this one really had me like “what the heck did I just read?”. The book is definitely a kids book, but it’s not even enjoyable for me, and most times I enjoy other kids books that are Star Wars. I think the one-word pages were fairly worthless and no emphasis was put on why the words were said, their use or point in the book. It felt like every word was basically worthless, right up until the end. The entire plot of the book was overall really silly. The one redeeming quality of this book is the art and imagery, I didn’t like the depictions of the little children or the monster masks but I did however like the selection of Darth Vader. However for many children the good thing is the diversity of the different races of the children, there were children representing all sorts of parts of the world, super diverse, so that every child feels represented no matter where they’re from. The background was really dark, it was a nice backdrop but I think it gave the entire book a very dark, moody tone just from looking at the pages. I also think the overall size of the book is way too large for any average sized shelf and especially too large for anybody to take anywhere on the go as many people; especially children like to do. It’s definitely a bedtime-story reader sized book with the overexaggerated sizing. The book itself is also a garish bright yellow color; highly unattractive. The author’s photo is a photo of a vintage Star Wars action figure, which I thought was really clever and cute, but only works if you know about the vintage figures. I think it’s kind of not very accurate to not put an actual photo of the author himself on there, but that’s just my personal opinion. The book, since having no real content inside, also has no words on the back as an informative blurb, the back of the book is basically plain. Overall I wouldn’t recommend but I am keeping as part of my collection just because it’s a Star Wars book.

Love Vader's classic deadpan humor and we cracked up throughout the book. Vader isn't scared of anything except for the surprise at the end of the story.
