“Star Wars OBI-123 Galactic Basic Edition” is a “Star Wars” book for children, albeit a bit of a mishmash. There’s a “Star Wars” counting portion of the book, with young readers as the intended audience. And then there are the “Star Wars” number poems, definitely designed for older children as the words are too complex for young readers and the attention span required for reading the twenty poems is likely to be far beyond that of most young children. However, the book is likely to remain a favorite on the child’s bookshelf as their reading skills develop and they abandon the simple counting in favor of the more challenging poetry.

Nevertheless, “Star Wars” fans and parents alike will find much to appreciate in this book. The colorful “Star Wars”-themed illustrations are delightful and parents will appreciate the opportunity this book provides for them to share their love of “Star Wars” with their children.

This book is a special edition for Kohl’s Cares.

Recommended. ( )

The pictures are cartoon versions of the Star Wars characters and creatures, so they are not too scary for a beginning reader. Unlike many other counting books, this book counts all the way up to 20. This book would be very appealing to young Star Wars fans. ( )
