Also available as board books: Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 —a counting book for babies and toddlers Chicka Chicka ABC —an introduction to the alphabet for the youngest readers Review: Babies, Toddlers Love This Book - I live in the US, my grandson in the UK. When he was just a few months old, he visited my house for 10 days during which time we read this book over and over. He and a friend's younger grandson were both enthralled with this - probably the colors and the cadence of our voices as we read. Flash forward a few months and I'm visiting him. He's just learning to say a few words, loves to sing and to be read to. We're singing the alphabet song and suddenly he says "Boom! Boom!". He hasn't seen Chicka Chicka Boom Boom for months but when I say "A told B and B told C … I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree. Chicka! Chicka! Boom! Boom!" his eyes lit up and he vigorously nodded yes. My daughter and I had to recite as much of the book over and over from memory as we could. I quickly purchased another copy for him to keep at his house! Review: My son is addicted! - I bought this for my newborn based on the good reviews (and my love for 'Brown Bear' by Bill Martin Jr.) and really only brought it out when he was about 14 months. Sometimes we have to hide the book because he will want to read it over and over and over again; he enjoys lots of books and so the fact this is his favourite is praise indeed. I really like the bold illustrations and musical rhythm, plus the educational element of the alphabet and day/night. As a Brit, I'd say it's worth noting, there are a few bits of text that won't rhyme if you pronounce 'zed' instead of 'zee' and 'aunt' instead of 'ant' but this doesn't detract from the enjoyment of this book.

Fun, catchy rhyme but confusing.
Ok my 3 year old loves this book, she gets upset when the coconuts fall off the tree but loves it’s catchy rhyme. I feel it confuses her. They are taught the phonetic alphabet (ah, buh, cuh, duh) in nursery and early years so this book confuses what she’s learning with the A, B, C It’s still a fun story and it’s a regularly chosen by her for us to read but I wouldn’t count it on a learning book

He loved the rhyme
This was THE book for my son when he was a toddler (now 6). He loved the rhyme, it taught him his alphabet - I still think he would read it today to be honest. It's the book I will be keeping forever.

Capital letters
Being in the UK where children are taught lower case letters first, I was somewhat disappointed with this book. All ‘words’ and illustrations are upper case. Will keep until granddaughter is older.

A must have!
My daughter is 6 years old and loves alphabet books. She just learned to read this past school year. Kindergarten teacher recommended this one as a summer reading list and she really enjoyed the story. It’s her new favorite book she owns. It was easy enough for her to read independently with some challenging words and fun things she never heard before and I explained to her what they meant. I think it was educational, and also funny. Very engaging for kids and beautiful illustration. Highly recommended! We got the paperback and pages were perfect. They are also nice and thick for a paperback book. If your kid loves their ABC’S and wants to learn to read independently this is a great choice. It also has rhymes in it.📚❤️
