Editorial Review:
In this bright and lively rhyme, the letters of the alphabet race each other to the top of the coconut tree. When X, Y, and Z finally scramble up the trunk, however, the weight is too much, and down they all tumble in a colorful chaotic heap: "Chicka Chicka . . . BOOM! BOOM!" All the family members race to help, as one by one the letters recover in amusingly battered fashion. Poor stubbed toe E has a swollen appendage, while F sports a jaunty Band-Aid, and P is indeed black-eyed. As the tropic sun goes down and a radiant full moon appears, indomitable A leaps out of bed, double-daring his colleagues to another treetop race. This nonsense verse delights with its deceptively simple narrative and with the repetition of such catchy phrases as "skit skat skoodle doot." Ehlert's bold color scheme, complete with hot pink and orange borders, matches the crazy mood perfectly. Children will revel in seeing the familiar alphabet transported into this madcap adventure.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Book and Audio CD Set (Paperback) Reviews:
Fun Book and CD 
2009-09-17 - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a great rhyme and Ray Charles is great. I had this on cassette and wanted to upgrade to CD for my grandchildren. They love it!
Even adults never tire of this one!!!
2008-01-13 - I work in an elementary school with children of all ages and do a ton of babysitting. When I first heard this CD I fell in love with it. Every child that I've introduced to it has also loved it. It's one book/CD even an adult won't get tired of listening to!
great way to learn the abc's
2008-01-02 - I first saw this book in my son's special education classroom. His teacher had the big book version along with the tape. The children loved hearing the song and singing along as the teacher turned the page. The illustrations are vivid and the tune on the audio cd is very "catchy". Two years later my son still loves the book and cd.
