Welcome to Litsy!

“Skit skat skoodle doot, flip flop flee, everybody running up the coconut tree. Mamas and papas and uncle and aunts hug their little dears, then dust off their pants.“

I will never forget hearing my teacher read this to us like it was a song in Kindergarten. It was my all-time favorite book and I will be looking forward to reading this to my Kindergarten class this week. It is great for teaching a child the alphabet in a fun manner.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Jr. Martin was a picture book that was published in 1989. The alphabetic characters compete for the top spot on the coconut tree in this colorful and vivacious poem. When X, Y, and Z eventually manage to climb the trunk, the weight is too great, and they all fall down in a vibrant, chaotic heap, yelling, “Chicka Chicka... BOOM! BOOM!“

“I‘ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree”

So many activities to do with children for this! Make your own tree is a great one!

A classic for teaching young children the alphabet.

This book you could read over and over and it still be fun.

Poetry. I absolutely loved this book when I was younger and I still love it now as adult. It reads so smoothly and is an overall fun book. It is a lively alphabet rhythming book that you could read over and over again.

A told B and B told C I bet you to the top of the coconut tree.

Well my reading light was cool before it was claimed. #raisereaders

This book surprise you does a good job at representing different kinds of caregivers.

This book is very colorful and the rhymes will draw you in. This was a personal favorite as a child and is a good introduction to objects as characters.

Dare double dare, you can‘t catch me. I‘ll beat you to the top of the coconut tree.” Chicks chicks BOOM BOOM!

I love this simple picture book! It‘s great for rhyming and the alphabet practice. It‘s fun to carry a beat and make it entertaining. Definitely good for Pre-k- kindergarten.

“Chicka chicka boom boom, will there be enough room?“ Classic quote from the book and keeps you on your toes.

This book is so fun and has such an impact on us so there are so many activities and props to have many lessons for the youngsters learning their letters. This song that I found would also just be a fun brain break to review letters

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Bill Jr. Martin, 2002. This is a fun, catchy way to learn your letters.

I love this book. It‘s an easy read and is always fun with kids. The colors make the illustrations pop off the page, and kids sing the alphabet potentially without even realizing.

This book is a very entertaining story, typically read in a singsong rhythm, about all the letters of the alphabet racing to the top of the coconut tree. The illustrations are simple, but the bright colors used immediately draw you into the fun nature of the story.

“But— chicka chicka boom boom! Look, there‘s a full moon.”

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Jr. Martin and John Archambault and illustrated by Lois Ehlert is an alphabet book that uses colorful illustrations to help readers learn the alphabet. This book uses repetition, color, and shape to tell a great story for early learners. (1989)

“Chicka chicka boom boom! Will there be enough room? Here comes H up the coconut tree”

I enjoyed that the letters of the alphabet were bold and brightly colored so that your attention is drawn to it.

This is a classic book that is used in much younger grades to teach the alphabet. It was very bright colors that make the illustrations fun to look at. It also has a rhythm to the words when you read them aloud.

I like how some of the illustrations make it look like the letters are falling off of the page after falling from the tree

This is a really great book to teach children about letters and the alphabet. The pictures are super colorful and fun for children to stay engaged with the book as well

This is what my last year has been about. Haven‘t really had the time to start, let alone finish any of my own books. But he‘s been enjoying mommy reading to him his books. His favorite at the moment is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Plus we‘ve moved again and most of my books are still in storage. Can‘t wait to get them out and organize my bookshelves when I order new ones.

📚➕🧁

Love that my big boy (9) is rereading an old favorite. We‘re never too old for picture books! My little guy (7) - who‘s actually bigger than big bro now 😅 - is rereading Dog Man for probably the 4th or 5th time!

What time is it? It‘s naked reading time! I can never choose one book to read, either, Clara.

Read this one tonight to honor the legacy. I had no idea she was from WI. We don‘t have Hungry Caterpillar so we couldn‘t honor Mr. Carle.

Not another one! 😭

Before, I thought this book was too visually confusing. I didn't like how it deviated from the regular alphabet.
However, I changed my mind. Julian just needed to grow into this read. Tonight, he was fascinated by the letters being characters with unique qualities. At the end, he was already identifying letters by their shapes and wanted to practice calling them out. This was a big turning point in his development! My son is learning to read!

The book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault is about the letters of the alphabet and how each letter attempts to climb toward the top of the coconut tree in alphabetical order. The coconut tree starts to bend from all the weight from the letters. At the very end, lowercase a dares the other letters to race back up the tree.

This MF, ALA Notable Children‘s Book award winning classic is a must add to primary classrooms! Readers enjoy learning or reviewing the alphabet as they watch the letters climb a coconut tree in order. The rhyming and lyrical nature of the moon make it ideal to be used in a S setting.

My son has three copies of this, and hands it to me at least twice a day. It‘s to the point I don‘t even have to read the words to recite it. Surprisingly I still prefer this over a lot of his other books. I find the illustrations are simple and vibrant

I never had this book as a kid. What a cute way to teach the alphabet! #1kbooksb4kindergarten

For young readers learning their alphabet with cute rhymes and illustrations.

Thanks so much for the tag @TheRiehlDeal ! I can remember how this entire book sounds in my dad‘s voice. ❤️

This book is about the alphabet and introduces lowercase and uppercase letters. This is a P book that would be great for a RA. https://www.weareteachers.com/chicka-chicka-boom-boom-activities/ the udl principal 2.4 promote understanding across languages and EL 30 encourage the use of diagrams and drawings as aids to identify concepts and seeing relationships goes well with the website because it‘ll let the students compare the English alphabet to

I vividly remember this cover from my childhood but I couldn't remember what the book was about, until reading the MF Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. It's about the letters of the alphabet climbing up a tree. I think this is a great read for when teaching students the alphabet. It would be fun while reading to have students join in what letter comes next! (The cover matched my pen!) #UCFLAE3414SP20
