It's cute, and it's fun!
Need more of a review than that? Okay . . . Darth Vader and Family Coloring Book, which I received for review through Goodreads First Reads, is a collection of illustrations mostly taken from Jeffrey Brown's Darth Vader and Son books, repurposed as a coloring book. If you're familiar with Brown's earlier books, you know how charming his work can be. He finds plenty of humor in putting Vader in various domestic situations involving adorably youthful versions of Luke and Leia. The pictures chosen for the coloring book are often more "cute" than "funny," but it's enjoyable throughout. (For long-term Star Wars fans, there's also a lot of fun to be had spotting Easter eggs from throughout the saga.)
As previously noted, the artwork comes mainly from the Darth Vader and Son books, translated to black-and-white drawings and supplemented by several new pieces by Brown. The images drawn specifically for the coloring book seem a little sharper, but they're all serviceable. Each piece of art is printed on a single side of the page, so none of the pages have art to color on both sides.
The book includes a good selection of images, with many of the illustrations being more elaborate pieces that offer a more engaging coloring experience. In addition, it appears that at least a couple of the comparatively simpler pieces have been given added details for this release.
Even if one isn't interested in coloring in the book, it's a fine showcase for Brown's cartooning skills.

I received this book from Goodreads First Reads in exchange for an honest review...
As a huge Star Wars fan, I was exciting to receive this in the mail (as was my 7-year-old too). It is a fun book, that is great and perfect for sharing between adults and children alike. It is a great size and would make a delightful gift for anyone. Highly recommended!
