Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Reach for this book when you want to transform alphabet learning into a physical, high-energy bonding experience. It is the perfect choice for a child who is just beginning to recognize letters or for a toddler who needs to see that falling down and getting back up is just part of the adventure. The rhythmic, jazz-like chant keeps energy high while providing a subtle lesson in resilience and the safety of family. As the letters of the alphabet race each other up a coconut tree, they eventually cause the tree to bend and everyone to tumble down. The story concludes with the comfort of 'mamas and papas and uncles and aunts' rushing in to dust off the skinned knees and bumped heads. It is a joyful, musical exploration of letters that feels more like a game than a lesson, making it a staple for children ages 0 to 5.
