Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 (Chicka Chicka Boom Boom)

Summary: Chicka, Chicka -One-derful!
Review: Every kindergarten teacher must have this book! We will all need a chicka, chicka apple tree in our classrooms (to accompany our Chicka, Chicka coconut trees.) In the same style as Chicka, Chicka Boom, Boom, this book features the numbers climbing an apple tree. 1-20 climb, and then counting by 10's until 100 is at the top of the apple tree! Enjoy sharing this with your class!

Review: This book completely lacks the charm of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. The rhymes are forced and the plot does not quite make sense. Numbers one to twenty climb an apple tree then the counting becomes increments of ten. Meanwhile a zero is floating around and eventually becomes part of 100 and is the hero (why??). Bees chase the numbers out of the tree in decending order.

I'm very glad I previewed this book at the library before I wasted money on it. My kids love the original but were not taken with this book at all.
