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.

The Underwater Alphabet Book

The Underwater Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) by Jerry Pallotta (Author), Edgar Stewart (Illustrator)

This book is fairly text-dense, with descriptions of a fish and other sea creatures for each letter of the alphabet. There are even some with multiple creatures for the same letter. It can be read quickly by just reading the names. The text is not bad, there is just too much. The choices are also fairly obscure.
