Product Description:
This silly rhyme book will throw kids into fits of laughter as they start to learn their ABCs. Author: Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault Illustrator: Lois Ehlert Publishing house: Simon & Schuster
Amazon.com Review:
The 26 characters in this rhythmic, rhyming baby book are a lowercase alphabet with attitude. 'A told b, and b told c, 'I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree''--which probably seemed like a good idea until the other 23 members of the gang decided to follow suit. Lois Ehlert's chunky block illustrations show the luxuriant purple palm standing straight and tall on the very first page, but it begins to groan and bend under its alphabetical burden. First the coconuts fall off, then ('Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!') all the letters also end up in a big heap underneath. A very simple board-book version stops there, but this original text goes on to introduce the helping hands of the 26 uppercase 'mamas and papas and uncles and aunts.' (Baby to preschool) --Richard Farr

This book is magnificent! It is one of my favorite children's books. I made a recording of me reading the book and the children in the class always walks around singing the the book as a song. It is a book they will always remember. It is at the top of my list of recommended reading!

This book was another accidental find in our library, a present from our library-sale loving friend. I love reading this story to my daughter (22 months at the time of this review), and I enjoy its rhythm and its illustrations. The story is a little long for a toddler, Anna usually loses interests after the letters fall off the tree, but she enjoys saying out of the blue, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! ... Enough room? when she is playing with something else. Those little wheels in her head are obviosly turning :)

This is a regular addition to our bedtime reading collection for our two sons (ages 5 and 4). The book is colorful, fast and fun to read.
Both of my kids already know their ABCs but that doesn't prevent them from enjoying this book and giggling like mad as they read these lines:
"Skit skat skoodle doot. Flip flop flee..."
"mamas and papas and uncles and aunts..."

The older niece (5) has recently stopped liking this book, and will leave the room when I read it. Not sure what's up with that, she used to like it well enough. Her little sister, though, will stand by her desire to have it read when *normally* she caves to Big Sister Pressure.
This book has a very bouncy rhythm and tune (if you know the tune), and very colorful illustrations. It's just fun to read, and it's quick, too.
I definitely recommend it to young kids, especially any in the age where they're learning about letters.

What a FUN book! My two-year-old son loves this book and I love to read it to him. The words have a great cadence and I find myself singing each page! The pictures are very primitive which is nice (no sensory overload) and it helps young children to learn their alphabet. The story is super cute and the author uses great imagery. Although the illustrations are primitive, you can imagine these letters racing up the coconut tree! It's a wonderful book for any child's collection!
