There is always enough room on your child’s bookshelf for this Classic Board Book edition of the rollicking alphabet chant that has been a children’s favorite for over thirty years!

A told B,

In this lively alphabet rhyme, all the letters of the alphabet race each other up the coconut tree. Will there be enough room? Oh, no—Chicka Chicka Boom! Boom!

Countless children—and their parents—can joyfully recite the familiar words of this beloved alphabet chant. Bill Martin, Jr., and John Archambault’s rhythmic text keeps the beat with Caldecott Honor illustrator Lois Ehlert’s bold, cheerful art. This winning combination has made the Chicka Chicka series an enduring classic.

Not for younger kids, simple paper not a board book

Reviewed in India on 24 May 2020

Verified Purchase

Ok .. the book is fine, however I just don’t it’s for smaller babies, it’s expensive to say the least and that too it’s not hard cover, my one year old would want to just tear it apart and I don’t think the book would stay out for a long time.
Do returning, for young toddlers who don’t understand that books are to be treated delicately I don’t think it’s suited.

Amazing rhyme and rhythm book

Reviewed in India on 5 August 2019

Its so much fun to read it aloud to the baby. I read it at a fast pace and my 18 month old baby loves listening to the it. Only thing is the illustrations seem quite repetitive at the first glance, but my baby slowly took to it and its one of his favourites now.

It's a lovely book and arrived in good quality. I just wish i had purchased the board book. Proves to be more sturdy with toddlers. My son loves it. Fun way to introduce them to the alphabet. 😊

My 3 yr old sons absolute favourite book! The rhyming is really catchy and it's great that there are YouTube videos of the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom song to follow along with! This was the extended version which was an added bonus :)

Fun, catchy rhyme but confusing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2020

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

Babies, Toddlers Love This Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2019

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!

My son is addicted!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2015

Verified Purchase

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.

I bought this book based on reviews. On my first read I wasn't very impressed. However, it has really grown on all the family and I now LOVE reading/singing this book - as do both my one year old and three year.
