If you’re looking for an upbeat book to read to your children (3-8 years old), Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, written by Bill Martin Jr., John Archambault and illustrated by Lois Ehlert is a perfect choice.
The book uses lots of rhythm and rhymes to tell the story of an attempt by the letters of the alphabet to race to the top of a coconut tree. It seemed like a good idea at the time -- that is -- until they all came tumbling down.
Don’t worry, with the exception of “black eyed P,” the letters only suffered minor injuries.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is 32 pages of pages of pure magic -- and your kids are sure to get a kick out of it!
