Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue! (Origami Yoda #5) by Tom Angleberger
3.0
The conclusion of the story FunTime Menace storyline from [b:The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett|17802191|The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett|Tom Angleberger|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1366074312s/17802191.jpg|24903701]. Our whole family enjoys this series on audio and is our recent choice for road trips -- it's funny and we all think Star Wars is cool. I didn't think the ending was terribly realistic but it was still an enjoyable listen.
Parents: early on in this book is a chapter that centers around kids teasing another kid, calling him "gay" because he wears a pink shirt. While I was pleased with how Angleberger addressed the issue, we did feel like we needed to have a conversation with our kids about it all reflecting our values. Also (and this is true for all the books in the series): there are several words we wouldn't want our own kids saying (there is a LOT of "butt" in this particular book). Nothing I necessarily see as problems -- but parents should probably know about it so they can have age-appropriate conversations with their kids.
