About this ebook

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,
and B told C,
“I’ll meet you at the
top of the coconut tree”

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.

Ratings and reviews

This title appears to NOT include an audiobook version as well... which was the only reason I got it. Returning immediately. Pretty disappointed. I think it should be flagged, unless there is a sync issue and it is supposed to just show up in my audio library.

Why do they only make it so that when you get a free sample of it it only shows a small amount of the book and sometimes the book only shows the same people that made the book like why is it like that? I don't think that I am going to be getting a free sample of the book any more so yes.

the sample is like only three pages and it does not even read anything it all it does is tell you the author and the illustrator it's boring good thing I didn't waste my money on this book
