Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault, illustrated by Lois Ehlert

The letters of the alphabet climb up into the coconut tree. Then they come crashing down and need to untangle the pile. This is one of the greatest ABC books. It is quick and has a great rhythm to it. The story is interesting, and has some simple, but great images. (The injured letters are especially interesting, letters are tied up, have loose teeth and other fun things, even though they are just basic "font" letters.) It is easy and fun to read.
