  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.

  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.
