Book Reviews of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Book Review: Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom
Summary: 5 Stars
As a pre-k teacher (now retired) I loved Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, including the tape of the text set to music! I recently bought a copy for my 2 and 1/2 year old granddaughter, and she loves it, carrying it around with her! The book really should include the musical setting, too.
Summary of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
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!
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."
