Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Martin, B. & Archambault, J. (1989). Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. New York, NY: Aladdin.

Brief Annotation: The alphabet book gets a different meaning in this fun, lighthearted take. Each letter races, climbs, and jumps up a coconut tree, only to make it to the top and the tree falls over! Once it jumps back up the letters try and make their way up again and again.

Genre: Alphabet book.

Grade Level: Pre-K - 1st grade

Readers who will like this: Readers who are just learning their letters, pre-kindergarten readers who are leaning the alphabet or reading.

Response/Rating (1-4): ****. The rhymes and artwork in this book are really fun, and are something that I think would really help a beginning reader. As a sidenote, I got the version with the audio book, and it's really enjoyable to listen along with. It makes the words pop off the page.

One question you would ask before a read aloud: "Does anyone here have a favorite rhyme?"
