Then, at night, letter “A” dares the other letters to catch him while he climbs the coconut tree.Ĭhicka Chicka Boom Boom is an alphabet picture book because the story is told through the use of bright pictures and text. Each of the lower-case letters gets hurt during the fall from the tree and the book describes each letter’s injury. Then capital letters (the older relatives) help the lower-case letters back up into the tree. The lower-case letters climb up the tree, but the tree bends and the letters fall out. The song it uses when saying and pronouncing each letter and sound is so catchy! It definitely helped both kids learn their alphabet sounds.Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a story about the alphabet letters climbing a coconut tree. It is still in great condition 5 1/2 years later!

If you’ve ever heard any of the songs that match this book, you already know how easy it is for it to be stuck in your head for a long time! When my brother visited us, he left knowing the words to the song version we listen to while driving.

It has a song-like rhyming to it as it goes through the letters of the alphabet. It’s a must read if you have never read it. It’s so cute to listen to him try to read the book by himself (he’s 2 1/2). Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is still my son’s favorite book.
