A book that is great for kids learning to perfect their alphabet production! It rhymes its way through the ABCs all along with the coconut tree.

This is a great book for pre K or Kindergarten students who are learning their alphabet and letter recognition. This is a fun book with a good rhythm to it that makes it exciting to read. Bright pictures and words make it a fun book for the younger crowd.

This book helps children learn their ABC's. All the letters begin climbing up one tree and that tree gets so heavy that is bends over and all the letters come tumbling out. It first goes through the alphabet as the letters are going up and it goes through them again as the letters fall down.

I really like this book because it has a good rhyme with it and makes it easier to learn the ABC's. I also love the pictures.

I would have the tree made just like the book on the wall and have the children draw letters to put them on the tree and see if the branches get to heavy or not.

This book is a classic. It is used in many classrooms to teach alphabet recognition. In addition to that Chicka Chicka Boom Boom teaches rhyme. This is important for a young audience. It is a fun way to teach children their alphabet. Children can learn to read simply by rereading this book about the letters of the alphabet.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 068983568X, Paperback)

The 26 characters in this rhythmic, rhyming baby book are a lowercase alphabet with attitude. "A told b, and b told c, 'I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree'"--which probably seemed like a good idea until the other 23 members of the gang decided to follow suit. Lois Ehlert's chunky block illustrations show the luxuriant green palm standing straight and tall on the first page, but it begins to groan and bend under its alphabetical burden. First the coconuts fall off, then ("Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!") all the letters also end up in a big heap underneath. A very simple board-book version stops there, but this original text goes on to introduce the helping hands of the 26 uppercase "mamas and papas and uncles and aunts." (Baby to preschool) --Richard Farr
