Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 (original 2004; edition 2004)

A fun book when teaching numbers to children. Its catchy and fun words will have the children loving it! ( )

This is a classic number book that has been used for years in early learning classrooms. I first became aware of this text when I was teaching preschool. The children and the teachers were using this text for several activities. Teachers would have the children make their own trees, children would sing songs and request the reading of the book again and again. There is also the ABC book that is very similar to the book. I enjoy the art in this book and would also use this book in Kindergarden and younger grades for lessons. ( )

This is an awesome book about numbers with catchy phrases kids in kindergarten through 2nd grade would love! The bright illustrations bring predictable elements, too, which children enjoy. I'd incorporate in math. ( )

In this follow up to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom numbers are the focus rather than letters. Following the same concept as before the reader follows as one by one the numbers race up the tree. In this sequel however, things do get a little more complicated as once the numbers hit 20, they begin to climb in groups of 10 until 90. Fun way to teach both basic numbers up to 20 as well as how to count by 10s. ( )

Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 is a counting story about the numbers that climbed the coconut tree. Unfortunately, too many numbers climbed up and they all came tumbling out! This book shows forward, backward, and skip counting. Great for toddlers and preschool students! ( )
