It was absolutely my favorite book from elementary and I will always remember it this way thanks to a fabulous art project that my schools librarian did with each of the sixth graders before they left the school. We each chose our favorite book from the entire time we were in elementary school and created an illustrated pillow with a small amount of embroidery to highlight our drawing that had been transferred onto fabric. My mother still has the pillow I made, and loves to give me some of Bill Martin Jr.'s other great books as gifts because she will always remember how close this book was to my heart. This is a wonderful little picture book that`s a hit with young children. It`s a fun book that kids seem to really enjoy and is a great way to teach them about the alphabet. The illustrations are large, bright, colourful and attractive. Kids will also find it easy to follow along as the book has a catchy rhythm describing the letters as they race up and down a coconut tree. This particular version includes the letters of the alphabet. There is however, another version of this book that uses numbers. In addition, some versions also come with a CD. While not an award-winner, it is extremely popular and highly recommended by parents of pre-schoolers and early learners. Once the letters all get to the top, while they try to 'beat' each other to the top of the coconut try, they don't quite fit. It's a good way for kids to remember letters and put sounds together with sighting letters. no reviews | add a review

It's cute, but I'm too lame to figure out why it's a classic of the alphabet book genre. (
