Summary: Alphabet with attitude
Comment: I had seen this book when I worked for [local store], but never read it. My daughter started reciting it around the house; her kindergarten teacher uses it as a staple for teaching the difference between upper and lowercase letters. Each "baby" letter challenges the succesive letters to a race at the top of a coiconut palm tree. Later, the "aunts and uncles" (read: uppercase letters) are introduced, until the tree grows too heavy from the weight of them all, then..."Chicka chicka boom boom!"- everything tumbles down. A sweet book for all ages, with brightly colored illustrations by Lois Ehlert (known for her own series of chunky board books). There's also a 2 full pages of the alphabet in upper and lowercase letters in the front and back of the book. Sure beats the regular alphabet song!

Summary: Parents and kids will love this fun book!
Comment: I enjoyed this book so much, I am purchasing the board book version of it. It is one of the few books I have read to my daughter and day care children that totally drew them in from the second line. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a daring yet impish race of the small alphabet letters up to the top of a coconut tree with vivid artwork on every page. When the tree is weighed down with all the letters, it bends and the child-like letters fall down to be picked up by the large letters described as the mamas and the papas and the uncles and the aunts. Theya re all gathered up and put to bed when all the sudden out comes little a again..and the fun starts again. It is so fun to read for the adults too. What a great way to show the relationship betwen large and small alphabet letters! We even started a game with me saying, "Chicka chicka?" and them cheering back, "BOOM BOOM!"
The author captures the tone of children at play, keeps a rhythm that is easy to follow, and provides a warm sunny way for children to remember the alphabet. It is well worth the money and I will look for more offerings from the author in the future. I also used it as a tool for homeschooling my daughter who has just turned 4. After the purchase and use of this book, she can easily recognize all letters large and small which makes it so much easier when you work on phonics and early reading. The book made it FUN and that is what I liked the most.
Get this book!!! It's educational, affordable, and fun!

Summary: Toddler's Loving it!!!
Comment: This is now our regular nighttime read. My 18 month old daughter gets an absolute kick out of it! She says the BOOM, BOOM! part when we get to it. While I read the part "up the coconut tree", I walk my fingers up the tree. It really seems to get and keep her attention. Every parent should own this book!!
