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

 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.
Hip-hop alphabet book December 8, 2008
Great rhythm! My 3-year old is learning this rhyme--much more hip than the old "alphabet song". It is an instant classic in our house; you will catch yourself walking around reciting the verse. Features lower-case letters, which is rarely found in alphabet books. Neat, flat cut-out art in electric colors. Good book for 1-4 year-old.
 Engaging and Educational November 29, 2008
My three year old granddaughters enjoyed this verbally rhythmic book about letters of the alphabet. Good Night Lullabies
