Amazon.com Review
The 26 characters in this rhythmic, rhyming baby book are a lowercase alphabet with attitude. "A told b, and b told c, 'I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree'"--which probably seemed like a good idea until the other 23 members of the gang decided to follow suit. Lois Ehlert's chunky block illustrations show the luxuriant green palm standing straight and tall on the first page, but it begins to groan and bend under its alphabetical burden. First the coconuts fall off, then ("Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!") all the letters also end up in a big heap underneath. A very simple board-book version stops there, but this original text goes on to introduce the helping hands of the 26 uppercase "mamas and papas and uncles and aunts." (Baby to preschool) --Richard Farr
Product Description

and B told C

The perfect pairing of Bill Martin Jr and John Archambault's lively rhymes, and Caldecott Honor artist Lois Ehlert's bright, bold, cheerful pictures made Chicka Chicka Boom Boom an instant hit and a perennial favorite. This full-sized, quality paperback edition will bring even more fans to this endearing, enduring classic. Chicka chicka boom boom!

 Great book and CD for young kids January 8, 2009
This was one of my kids' favorites, especially with the reading by Ray Charles. It is a great rhyming story that helps kids learn letters and is complemented by fun silly pictures. All in all a favorite gift for families with young children.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom January 7, 2009
My kids loved this book so I was so happy to be able to get it for my granddaughter. The CD was an extra plus.
Toddler loved it! January 6, 2009
I bought Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, the book and the CD, for a 2-year-old. She loved the book. It became an instant hit between Christmas and New Year's. Every literate adult was conscripted to read this catchy alphabet book. By the time we left, the little one hadn't listened to the CD yet. We adults listened to part of it. Was expecting some great jazz considering the musician listed, but he merely read the story, then a group of kids did a musical rendition of it. CD was a little disappointing, but the book is a winner.
WE LOVE CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM! January 2, 2009
I bought this for my 5-year-old, and she loves to read it. It helps with letter recognition and rhyming skills, and is flat out FUN! A must-have for any child's collection.
wonderful cadence December 30, 2008
Nothing captures a child's imagination more that being read to. When a book allows you to become rhythmic and to have a good time reading to someone, you have a winner. I've used it to entertain in preschool storytimes for years and now have a grandchild that will certainly benefit.
