Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by: Bill Martin & John Archambault

This is a wonderful book for teaching young children the alphabet. In the kindergarten class that I observe the children love singing along with this book on VHS. In fact, while I was reading this book a little girl pulled the book off the shelf and was telling her mother about how this was her favorite book. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is about a coconut tree that all the letters of the alphabet climb to the top of. When the letters reach the top, they are too heavy for the tree and all fall out. After falling the capital letters help the lowercase letters with their boo-boos. This is great because the children get to see the two letters next to each other. I loved this book and highly recommend it, especially when you sing it!
