Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

by Bill Martin, Jr.

The 2011 Kansas Reads to Preschoolers Week will focus on the celebration of Kansas’ 150 anniversary of statehood.  Author Bill Martin, Jr. is a well-known Kansas author and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom one of his best-known books.  It is available in every possible format:  hard back, soft back, big book, audio, Spanish, etc.  The book is described as a bright and lively rhyme, where the letters of the alphabet race each other to the top of the coconut tree. When X, Y and Z finally scramble up the trunk, however, the weight is too much, and down they all tumble in a colorful chaotic heap. 

We Made Coconut Trees With Our Hand Prints (Palm Leaves) And Our Fore Arms (Tree Trunk). We Completed Our Tree With Our Names. Notice The Letters Are Falling Down The Tree.

We Placed Magnetic Letters On The Palm Tree Just Like In The Book.

We Practiced Saying The Letter Names And Sounds.

Some Of The Children Spelled Their Names And Made Words. 

We Love To Read Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom Underneath The Coconut Tree!

This Is Are Absolute Favorite Book At School.

We Can Read It Over And Over Again!
