The stories in this volume are in the same style as all the previous volumes—short, pithy, focusing on a mix of major and minor characters, and all presented in vibrant, cartoony artwork.
But there's one thing I'll remember about this volume: it's the time I learned that Max Rebo has no arms! He plays the keyboard with his legs! How have I never known this?? It doesn't seem like a fact that would affect very much, and yet . . . it's quite a change to get into my head. I read the story about Max and his brother, and I just stared at those panels, like . . . "What? [peering closer at the page] No arms? But . . . " A search online brought me to this article at StarWars.com that confirms: Max was never intended to have arms. He's not sitting inside a circular keyboard; he's sitting on a cushion on top of the keyboard, playing with his feet.
Life is different today than it was yesterday, before I'd read this book.

This was another addition to the fun series intended for children, Star Wars Adventures. In my quest to devour everything Star Wars (specifically canon), I have come across so many formats of storytelling. I think these do a great job at telling stories that expand on the universe in a fun way that appeals to kids, but adult and teen Star Wars enthusiasts can enjoy too. In this one, we get to see something new in that we are being told stories with Anakin and Padme during the events in The Clone Wars. I continue to enjoy the Adventures in Wild Space as Star Wars' own Aseop's Fables. I really liked this entry and I look forward to the next adventure IDW puts out!

Some more Star Wars comics with life lessons. These books really are a mix but they’re still cute.
