Angleberger,
T., & Rosenstock, J. L. (2010). The strange case of Origami Yoda.
Retrieved June 22, 2016, from southtexas.libaryreserve.com.
Summary: Tommy has a problem, “Is Origami Yoda
real?” Tommy has an important question
to ask the Origami Yoda but is having a difficult time deciding if the origami
finger puppet is for real. The finger
puppet is owned by Dwight a friend of Tommy’s who is a bit weird. The book chronicles journal entries that
Tommy has gotten his friends to write about their experiences with Origami
Yoda. In the end Tommy realizes that
Origami Yoda has helped all their friends in one way or another and Tommy takes
the chance that Origami Yoda can help him too.
This book would be a great recommendation for any young person in fourth
grade and up. There are many other books
by this author including, Darth Paper
Strikes Back and Emperor Pickletine
Rides the Bus. The book’s point of view is multifaceted. A cast of ten
people share their experiences with the Yoda doll. Tommy has more chapters than
others, since he is the main character. Each entry into the book is first
person point of view. This allows for a closer connection between the
characters and the reader. Multiple points of view from other characters also
offer insight into the personal thoughts and feelings of those characters, and
how they deal with the Yoda doll’s predictions.
