Padawans can learn how to fold R2-D2 and C-3PO, draw Jabba, and even build a fully functioning ChapStick rocket! Other Force-mastering activities include: “Kellen’s Guide to Cool Letters,” “Mike’s Complete Rules and Tips for Pencil Pod-Racing,” “Rhondella’s Tips for Photographing Origami,” and much more!
With Tom Angleberger’s goofy sense of humor and accessible art style, Art2-D2’s Guide to Folding and Doodling is sure to satisfy and inspire the millions of Origami Yoda and Star Wars fans. May the doodles be with you!
Includes 16-page color insert with 10 pages of colored pull-out origami paper; instructions to make Yoda, Darth, C-3PO, Admiral Ackbar, and R2-D2; a section on photographing your origami creations, and two Star Wars backdrops to photograph them against.

This is the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, showcasing his proven knack for authentically capturing the intrigues, fads, and dramas of middle school in “a satisfying tale of friendship and just resistance to authority” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).



Praise for Art2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling
"Once again, Angleberger’s humor, which presents itself in the text through characters from the series, in both human and origami form, connects with middle-grade readers. 'Art2' and the other 'Origami Yoda' books are the ultimate example of the by-a-fan/for-the-fans format, which succeeds if executed properly. This did he.”
Florida Times-Union

"
Excellent activity-book offshoot of Angleberger’s bestselling Origami Yoda series… The banter and tongue-and-cheek humor of the previous books is present, along with encouragement."
Publishers Weekly

"The presentation’s offbeat attitude, ingenuity, and wit, many libraries will want to stock this high interest book..."
Booklist

"Fans (and nonfans, if there are any) of the “Origami Yoda” series (Abrams) and website will find new opportunities aplenty for foolery in this spinoff compendium of progressively challenging hands-on instructions for drawing, folding, and goofing around with (mostly) Star Wars characters."

Hey Tom, are you going to be updating the blogroll any time soon?

As I said above, without Sam around as much, things like the blogroll might not get updated. Bt since so many of you are asking, maybe I need to offer him some extra potato chips as a bribe.

Reply to this comment if you remember me

this book was cool, how do I talk to Tom anyone?

I think Talk to Tom and the Talkzone are the same thing.

You're talking to me right now!

TOM WHY HASN'T MY AMAZING ORIGAMI SHOWED UP YET I'M HOTROD05678 I MADE AMAZING ORIGAMI MACE WINDU AMONG OTHER THINGS T_T #WebmasterSamPleaseHurry!

There's always been a long wait because we get so many submissions. Right now it could be a month or so....

And, I'm also glad the TalkZone is back. Now, NO ONE SPOIL THIS MOMENT.

I loved The Force Awakens.

I've read about the "Darth Darth Binks" theory and it's very much mindblowing. Oh, and hello to all, I'm SuperFolder Tynuviel. You may ask me a question, I don't bite. ;)

I read that one too! That was such a fun read! It was very well thought out!

Hey Tynuviel! The JarJar Sith thing is mind-blowing. I don't quite believe it, but....

Hello! The new Talkzone seems really cool.

Tom- I came up with a BUNCH of Willy the Walking Waffle characters! One of them was actually Chris the Crispy Bacon (from a Mega Doodle about a year ago). Also, did you see the letter I sent?- It has most of my Willy the Walking Waffle character ideas- It's OK if you didn't...just wondering. :)

I'll be on the lookout for it!!

Thanks, Tom!

Rey or Phasma would be awesome!

Phasma is going to have to do A LOT more in the next movie if she wants to be a cover star!
