Chicka Chicka Boom Boom


Title: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Author: Bill Martin Jr., John Archambault
Illustrator: Lois Ehlert
Genre: Children’s poetry/picture book
Age: Lower elementary
Rating: 4 stars

            This classic children’s book was a childhood favorite of mine.  It is a unique twist on how to learn the alphabet, with colorful images of the letters and coconut tree in which they climb.  The story rhymes throughout, and has repeated phrases, making it perfect for children who are just beginning to read, working on poetry, or the alphabet.  For these reasons, I definitely plan to read this to my future children, in addition to keeping a copy in my classroom.  It is fun and bright, and helps beginners learn, while staying entertaining and fun!
