Summary
In this rhyming book for young children, each letter of the alphabet races up a coconut tree with a fun rhythm- chicka, chicka, chicka. Will the tree hold all of the letters? What do you think? Boom, Boom!
My Thoughts
I enjoyed Chicka Chicka Boom Boom for its wonderful rhyming and bold colors. I think small children would really enjoy this book because of the bright, colorful pages and the silly words used in the rhymes. I also think it would give young children a sense of accomplishment to be able to participate in storytime by using their knowledge of the alphabet to help the story progress.
Reviews
Children will revel in seeing the familiar alphabet transported into this madcap adventure.

Suggested Activities
I would suggest making a large coconut tree maybe on a felt board, or even a three dimensional tree and colorful letters. Children could attach letters during the reading of the story. It would be great if the tree were actually flexible and could be tipped lower and lower with each letter.
I would also suggest a coloring page with the parts of the tree separate, so the children could color the different parts and glue them together to make their own tree. I would also provide outlines of letters on colored paper the children could attach to their finished tree.
