My name is C-3PO. I am a droid.

A droid is a mechanical being. There are many types of droids in the universe. Most of the work we do is hard and dangerous.

It is often the kind of work that humans would rather not do. You might say that we are made to suffer!

As a PROTOCOL DROID, one of my tasks is to help beings from many different worlds speak to each other.

In fact, I am familiar with over six million forms of communication!

The DUM-4 PIT DROIDS are a special type of worker droid. They can repair many types of vehicles and often work as pit crews at Podraces.

Not all droids are built for work. Some are designed for combat.

BATTLE DROIDS are very advanced. The Trade Federation has created an entire army of them.

Battle Droids are designed to fold up to a compact size for swift and easy transport. They ride into battle on giant Trade Federation MTT transports....

Great book for young readers!
For those of you with young children, my son will be four in a couple months, this book is awesome! He hasn't put it down since we gave it to him a week ago.

This is a short picture book, which is narrated by C3-P0. The pictures are vivid and colorful. Most of them look as if they were taken straight from the Phantom Menace film footage, giving them an 'in the action' feel.

As an added bonus, this book also contains foil stickers of various droids/robots. My son loved pulling them off and sticking them to his clothes and bed posts. Reminds me of when I was four playing with my Star Wars figures and the likes. I will definitely be getting the remainder of the books in this series.

Excellent for kids and parents too!

an essential read for the young fan
"I am a Droid" takes the reader through a tour of the Star Wars galaxy's mechanized characters. As would be expected, everybody's favorite protocol droid is the narrator. C-3PO talks about both the benevolent robots (astromech droids, protocol droids, worker droids, etc.) and the nefarious ones (battle droids, destroyers, etc.). Some illustrations are from stills, but most images draw from "The Phantom Menace." The pages are very creatively designed with respect to the way the images interact with the text. The reading level is good for most second graders. Considering that the book initially retailed for $3.99, the accompanying stickers were by themselves worth the cost. "I am a Droid" is an essential book in any young Padawan's library.

Jack's review
It's a very good book. I like it. It's about droids. Battle droids and work droids.
