Summary: Reflection
Review: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a creative and fun book that introduces the alphabet to children. Archambault and Martin do a brilliant job of combining colors and rhyme to make the book exciting to children of all ages. The book is about lower-case letters who climb a coconut tree, but is the tree strong enough to hold them all...chicka chicka boom boom! The illustrator uses colors that are bright and exuberant. These types of colors are exciting and designed to keep young children entertained throughout the book. The colors along with the simplistic pictures allow the child to be entertained while also permitting them to pay attention to the words. As the book begins, the pages are empty except for the coconut tree and three letters. As the book hits climax, the page is filled with different colors and letters. As the denouement begins, the pages become less and less crowded and become as empty as they began. The illustrator also gives each of the letters personalities. Letters personify different characteristics of children. The letter "a" is a trouble-maker because "a" starts the book and is starting it again at the end of the book. The rhyme and rhythm of the book make the words fun and vivacious. The words have a flowing rhythm and remains in the reader's head even after the book is finished. Child readers learn the book quickly and can say the words along with the reader. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom captivates young audiences as they learn about the alphabet. This picture book combines rhyme and colors to educate preschool children as they sing the words. This book helps the children to see the letters as well as hear them presented in the correct order. The book also has the front and back covered with the upper-case letters so the children can learn the letters.

Summary: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Review: I first bought this book (from Amazon.com) when my son was 11 months old. He is now 2 1/2 and we've been enjoying the 'sing-song' story since we first bought it. He is able to recite a good deal of the book on his own, and, also, reconizes a great deal of the alphabet. The author uses both large and small letters (in pictures and in the reading). I think, for my son, he has enjoyed 'getting to know' the alphabet. Each letter kind of plays a little part in the book and so far 'w' is his favorite (still haven't figured that one out). You and your children will enjoy this book for hours and hours.

Review: This has to be the most chantable book in her library. The rhythm just carries you along, and you may find yourself singing nonsense passages even after you put the book down.

Summary: This is agreat book to help children learn the Alphabet
Review: Chicka Chicka boom boom is a great book when teaching a child the letters and order of the alphabet. This book is full of vibrant color and, exciting rhyming words. The first time I read this book was when a three year old I was Nannying for at the time told me she could read the book to me. As I sat next to her and read the book silently as she was reciting the book to me almost word for word, I realized yes she did inded know this book. NO, she was not reading the workds, but she new the oder of the alphabet and had been the read the book enough times to be able to recite the book. The book was well written and the illustrations also help to express the plot of the story.

Summary: This is a great book to help children learn the alphabet
Review: I first read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom three years ago when I began my second Nanny Position. The little girl I was taking care of at he time told me she could read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to me, but with her being only three I did not believe her. As I sat down and waited for her to begin the book, I was in shock at first as she was reciting the book almost work for word, I soon came to realize that she had learned the book from various repetiton of hearing her parents read it to her. I not only fell in love with this book because it it can be used as a teaching tool, but because it has great color,and is exciting. This book has great content for teaching the order of the alaphabet and the illustrations go perfect with the book. I suggest it to everyone I know who has small children.

Summary: I don't get it!
Review: The book starts out ok, one letter at a time. The second half of the alphabet is sort of rushed up the tree. And what is a chicka chika boom boom anyway?
