Martin, Bill Jr. CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM.

I remember this book from when I was a child. It is such an enjoyable and fun book. This bright colored book is about the letters in the alphabet climbing up a coconut tree one by one. Once Z reaches the top they all fall out and it repeats the alphabet again. This is a great way to reinforce the alphabet. By seeing all of the letters twice in order is a great beginner learning tool.
This book is very simple but has powerful pictures. There is a polka dot boarder around each of the pages which I think is a good use of space since the illustrations are very plain. The letters of the alphabet are good size in the illustration so they are easy to visualize. The font also becomes bold when a letter is mentioned. Also, the story has a good rhythm and rhyme to it which makes it easy to read. All of the pages have a white background to them except for the two last pages. I think that is a strong ending and simply just the color of the background you can tell when it has changed from the day time to night in the story. This is a great book, it is so catchy and a favorite of mine growing up!
