GET A FIRST LOOK AT THE CLEVER NEW BOOK THAT TEACHES YOUNGLINGS TO COUNT.

Step aside, Dooku, you’re not the only count in Star Wars anymore! Now everyone, from younglings to grown-ups, has a chance to master the secrets of learning to count with Star Wars: OBI-123. From the Chosen One to the Lost Twenty and all the way up to 3,720 to 1, numbers play a memorable role in our enjoyment of the Star Wars saga. With OBI-123, coming February 14 from Disney-Lucasfilm Press, Star Wars is now helping you and your little ones learn to count, which is always important when trying to make deals with Jawas or Hutts — or keeping track of how many Sith there are supposed to be. The team behind last year’s Star Wars: ABC-3PO is back with a new adorable book for the youngest set of Star Wars fans, filled with poems for each number written by Calliope Glass and Caitlin Kennedy and delightful illustrations by Katie Cook. StarWars.com chatted by e-mail with Cook about creating the artwork for the book.

StarWars.com: OBI-123 does for learning to count as your previous Star Wars book, ABC-3PO, did for learning the letters of the alphabet. How did you approach illustrating this book?

Katie Cook: The poems I was given were, once again, SUPER CUTE, and I used them as the springboard for each illustration. It was a fun challenge to come up with pages that were fun, stayed relevant to Star Wars and still had…oh…20 stormtroopers in it. Ha.

StarWars.com: Does the book just focus on the basic counting numbers, or do we also learn some of the bigger numbers that are often associated with Star Wars, like 1,138 or 3,263,827?

Katie Cook: Sadly, you only get 1 to 20. I think if I’d have to have drawn 1,138 Ewoks on a page I wouldn’t have survived.
