This book is great to use when teaching the alphabet because of its use of repetition and rhyming. Furthermore, the book jumps right into the story without unnecessary dialogue. The color of the letters in the text also correlates with the letters in the pictures. Then, at night, letter “A” dares the other letters to catch him while he climbs the coconut tree.Ĭhicka Chicka Boom Boom is an alphabet picture book because the story is told through the use of bright pictures and text. Each of the lower-case letters gets hurt during the fall from the tree and the book describes each letter’s injury. Then capital letters (the older relatives) help the lower-case letters back up into the tree. The lower-case letters climb up the tree, but the tree bends and the letters fall out. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a story about the alphabet letters climbing a coconut tree.
