Purchase options and add-ons

There is always enough room on your child’s bookshelf for this Classic Board Book edition of the rollicking alphabet chant that has been a children’s favorite for over thirty years!

A told B,
and B told C,
“I’ll meet you at the
top of the coconut tree”

In this lively alphabet rhyme, all the letters of the alphabet race each other up the coconut tree. Will there be enough room? Oh, no—Chicka Chicka Boom! Boom!

Countless children—and their parents—can joyfully recite the familiar words of this beloved alphabet chant. Bill Martin, Jr., and John Archambault’s rhythmic text keeps the beat with Caldecott Honor illustrator Lois Ehlert’s bold, cheerful art. This winning combination has made the Chicka Chicka series an enduring classic.

"Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" is a delightful children's book that captivates both kids and adults alike. The rhythmic storytelling, coupled with vibrant and engaging illustrations, makes it a joy to read aloud. The playful journey of the alphabet climbing up the coconut tree is not only entertaining but also educational. It's a timeless classic that fosters early literacy skills while keeping little ones entertained. A must-have for any child's bookshelf!

I read this as a child and enjoyed it immensely! My purchase of two books today was one is for a book drive at work and the other is for my grandson who has a habit of adding the "ka" sound to all his words! So he should get a kick out of this!

Meu filho de 4 anos, amou o livro! Ele já tinha trazido o exemplar da biblioteca da escola, mas ficou fascinado pela estória e pelas rimas. Previamente, ele já conhecia o alfabeto, mas se encantou com a possibilidade de cada letra do alfabeto ter sua própria identidade. Além disso, o livro é bem resistente, tem capa dura e suas folhas são fáceis de serem manuseadas por leitores principiantes. Tenho certeza de que meu dinheiro foi muito bem empregado nesta aquisição!

Reviewed in Germany on October 9, 2022

I bought this book on a whim only later to see it in a spotify recommendation as a song. There are many versions but the one by the original authors is the best. There is also a short video that accompanies the song by the original authors on youtube. Again, search for the original authors as there are many versions. My son first heard the song, then saw the video and once I showed him the book he was thrilled. We read it nearly every day.
