Rating: Summary: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Review: I teach preschool and this is one of the best ways for them to learn the alphabet and sit still at the same time. We have the tape that has someone sing and read and they all love to listen to the song. Most of them know the story by heart and sing it to their parents. This has got to be the best way for children to learn the alphabet. Way to go!
Rating: Summary: Michelle Review: As a favorite book of a friend, we received this book as a gift. "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" starts off well with nice rhymes and good rhythm, but deteriorates into little more than the reciting of the last half of the alphabet, which was very disappointing. I would skip this one.
Rating: Summary: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Review: A fun way to teach the alphabet... This book had great rhythm and colorful illustrations along with silly letters that can't seem to get it right! A cute book.
Rating: Summary: Oh, Those Pesky Alphabet Letters! Review: A told B and B told C...And so begins this delightful, rhythmic cadence as we follow the naughty alphabet letters up and down a coconut tree! This book is so much fun, and so perfect for very young children. As the letters chase each other up and down the tree, the inevitable happens...they all fall down! And then what happens? They start all over again. Your kids will delight, as mine did, in the rapid pace, rhythmic wording (you just can't help swaying along with the words) and bright, bold, simple illustrations. And you will rejoice that they know their alphabet in no time flat. A wonderful, wonderful book, timeless and fun.
Rating: Summary: Point Review: Point and identify: that is the wonder behind this book. The pictures are attractive and full of colour. The images draw the reader in. This is a very good book.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Adorable Review: My 2.5 year old can finish most pages on her own. She also has learned her alphabet so well - she can point and tell me a half dozen of the letters already! The concept is just wonderful. I definitely recommend this to everyone with children!!
Rating: Summary: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Review: The colorful illustrations and rhyming words catch the children's attention and keep them interested. The repetition of the words allows them to learn the lines and "read" along with me. This is an excellent book for preschoolers.
Rating: Summary: My son loves this! Review: My son is 4 with an autistic spectrum disorder. This is a great story introduced to him at school by his teachers and therapists. The rhythm of the book is engaging for even harder to reach children like my son... a fun story to both hear and read!
Rating: Summary: GREAT book!! Review: My son received this book as a present on a Saturday night. By Tuesday he was already helping me recite the book. I read it that much. He is 20 months old and really enjoys this story. It is one he will sit through over and over again. I would highly recommend this book. The rhymes really captivate the children and the simple pictures help to keep their interest.
Rating: Summary: Letters, letters, here we go! Review: Living in a book filled with books and kids is heaven. We read aloud every day here in our house, and letter books have been favorites for years and years when the kids start learning to read. We live in Norway and speak Norwegian, so most of our children's books are also in Norwegian. Still, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is among the favorites. The text, by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault is so simple and still so filled with rhymes and humour. And Lois Ehlart's colorful illustrations go perfect with the words.Learning the letters and learning to read can be a hard task for a child, and the book captures this perfectly. The letters live their own lives, climbing up the coconut tree, falling down again, bending, looping, having fun.......exactly what letters do when you are a newbie and try to sort them out. Any child will laugh of the way the letters act, and the sometimes hard task of learning the letters will be a wonderful game the child wants to play over and over again We love this book in our house, and can recommens it to any young readers.
