More About This Book

Overview

A told B,

and B told C

"I'll meet you at the top

of the coconut tree."


Countless children — and their parents — can joyfully recite the familiar words of this beloved alphabet chant. The perfect pairing of Bill Martin Jr and John Archambault's lively rhymes, and Caldecott Honor artist Lois Ehlert's bright, bold, cheerful pictures made Chicka Chicka Boom Boom an instant hit and a perennial favorite.

This full-sized, quality paperback edition will bring even more fans to this endearing, enduring classic.

Chicka chicka boom boom!

Will there be enough room?

There will always be room for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom on every child's bookshelf!

An alphabet rhyme/chant that relates what happens when the whole alphabet tries to climb a coconut tree.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
"A told B, / and B told C, / I'll beat you to the top of the coconut tree." Rascally A entices the whole alphabet up the tree, but the tree cannot handle the weight. All the lowercase letters come crashing to the ground, "Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!" Uppercase letters rush in to comfort the little ones, and all is well-for a while-in this irresistible alphabet book. Ehlert's bright, graphic illustrations join the jazzy foot-tapping rhyme. Watch out for that imp, A!
Publishers Weekly
In this bright and lively rhyme, the letters of the alphabet race each other to the top of the coconut tree. When X, Y and Z finally scramble up the trunk, however, the weight is too much, and down they all tumble in a colorful chaotic heap: ``Chicka Chicka . . . BOOM! BOOM!'' All the family members race to help, as one by one the letters recover in amusingly battered fashion. Poor stubbed toe E has a swollen appendage, while F sports a jaunty Band-Aid and P is indeed black-eyed. As the tropic sun goes down and a radiant full moon appears, indomitable A leaps out of bed, double-daring his colleagues to another treetop race. This nonsense verse delights with its deceptively simple narrative and with the repetition of such catchy phrases as ``skit skat skoodle doot.'' Ehlert's bold color scheme, complete with hot pink and orange borders, matches the crazy mood perfectly. Children will revel in seeing the familiar alphabet transported into this madcap adventure. Ages 2-6. (Oct.)

Children's Literature
Are you bored with the classic ABC song that ends " Now I know my ABC's, won't you sing them back to me"? Then try this jazzy song with a tropical beat. "A told B, and B told C, 'I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree.'" "Whee!" asid D to EFG, "Ill beat you to the top of the coconut tree." The race is on and the big question is "Chica chica boom boom, will there be enough room?" What a grand way to start a wintry day.

    Too expensive!

    I love this book for my kids, but $12.99 is way overpriced! It's too bad, because my 4 year old loves to read books on my Nook Color and I won't pay that much.

    Love it

    My daughter loves this book. They read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom at her preschool, and it is one of her favorites. So, I bought it for my Nook Tablet, and I have no complaints.

    The "read to me" feature is great. All ebooks should definitely have this option. We can hear the narrator (Ray Charles) just fine, and the colors are vibrant. I highly recommend this as an ebook. It would be a 5-star book if it were more interactive.

    Love It, Great Memories

    I remember reading this book in the second grade and many times after that just for fun, I am now 18. It's such a good book, it's catchy and fun for young children. This book will keep their attention on it TRUST ME! It's a 'must get'!

    Not Worth the Money

    I was hoping that it would be more interactive, but very disappointed. Should have just stuck with the paperback we have...a lot more could have been done with this book!
