Could the inner Star Wars nerd in me resist a book with this cover, called Search Your Feelings?
No. I didn't even try, because why would I? This book has all of your favorite characters in adorable pint-sized illustrations by Katie Cook, and I probably should have bought another copy so that I could deface it and put some in frames. Each illustration is paired with the name of an emotion, and a few verses of rhyme that explain what that word means. (And I know we've talked about how pedantic I am about rhyme schemes, and yes, there's a couple of verses that... fall short of the requested perfection, but not enough to put me off the whole book,)
Examples of verses that it just right though, include "Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie, disgusted and stuck in slime. Frantically call Threepio, to get out just in time." and "'These aren't the droids you're looking for,' the old man calmly stated. But the stormtroopers were confused, mixed up and agitated." This book is going to be a big hit with my Star Wars loving nephew (age 5), who's ready for an introduction to some more complex emotional vocabulary, so long as they're introduced in a relatable way. Being able to match up this face of Lando's to the word "guilty", is just the kind of stretch-learning he needs right now.

Nice book that applies a variety of emotions to different Star Wars characters. I liked the scope of the book. It includes references to the original Star Wars series as well as the newer movies. It was really cool to see all of those characters in one book.
There was also a great range of emotions. There were basic ones like happy, sad, and angry, as well as more advanced ones like confident, hopeful, anxious, and guilty.
The poems were entertaining. It takes a lot to come up with a rhyming poem that ties a certain emotion to a Star Wars scene, but this book pulled it off pretty well, in my opinion.
The thing that really made this book stand out were the illustrations. They were fantastic. Simply adorable. I loved them.
Great book for discussing emotions with the Star Wars fan in your life (as well as fostering a love of poetry).

Disappointing- rhymes felt forced. Book had a lot of potential but fell flat.

What an amazing book! Every two-page spread is dedicated to an emotion, with a rhymed poem describing a scene in a Star Wars movie when a character was feeling that emotion, and a cute illustration of the scene with appropriate, evocative faces. I'm sure this would have been a fantastic way for me to learn about different feelings as a child (though I might have wondered who this Rey person was... or who this Yoda person was. I'M OLD OKAY).

No real story, instead each spread discusses a specific feeling in rhyming text with examples from the Star Wars movies.

The drawings were fantastic- but the rhymes were lacking. There seemed to be a missed connection because the rhymes were forced because they were trying to make them fit around the key emotion words.
